Question 187217
In testing the hypothesis, Ho:µ &#8805; 28.7 and Ha: µ < 28.7, using the p-value approach, a p-value of 0.0764 was obtained. If &#945; = 9.8, find the sample mean which produced this p-value given that the sample of size n = 40 was randomly selected
----------------
The z-value that corresponds to the p-value of 0.0764 when there is a left-
tail test is z = -1.4297
-----------------
To find the sample mean use z = (x-u)/s
-1.4297 = (28.7-u)/9.8
28.7-u = -14.0112
u = 42.71
