Solution

(a) First, we need to calculate the t statistic. The formula for the t statistic is (X̄ - μ) / (s / √n), where X̄ is the sample mean, μ is the population mean, s is the standard deviation, and n is the sample size.

So, the t statistic is (106 - 100) / (35 / √100) = 6 / (35 / 10) = 6 / 3.5 = 1.71.

Next, we need to calculate the p value. The p value is the probability of observing a t statistic as extreme as the one calculated, assuming the null hypothesis is true. We can find this value using a t distribution table or a statistical software.

For a one-tailed test with 99 degrees of freedom (100 - 1), the p value associated with a t statistic of 1.71 is approximately 0.045.

Since the p value (0.045) is greater than the significance level (0.01), we fail to reject the null hypothesis.

(b) If s = 25, the t statistic is (106 - 100) / (25 / √100) = 6 / (25 / 10) = 6 / 2.5 = 2.4.

For a one-tailed test with 99 degrees of freedom, the p value associated with a t statistic of 2.4 is approximately 0.009.

Since the p value (0.009) is less than the significance level (0.01), we reject the null hypothesis.

(c) If s = 15, the t statistic is (106 - 100) / (15 / √100) = 6 / (15 / 10) = 6 / 1.5 = 4.

For a one-tailed test with 99 degrees of freedom, the p value associated with a t statistic of 4 is approximately 0.0001.

Since the p value (0.0001) is less than the significance level (0.01), we reject the null hypothesis.

In carrying out a one-sample t-test for a mean, the hypotheses H0:mu=10 against HA:mu>10 were tested.A sample of size 21 was used, giving a t-statistic of 2.00.Determine the P-value associated with this test.

<p>a) To infer if the population mean is less than 100 at the 10% significance level, we can perform a one-sample t-test.</p> <p>Step 1: State the null hypothesis (H0) and the alternative hypothesis (H1). H0: μ = 100 (The population mean is equal to 100) H1: μ &lt; 100 (The population mean is less than 100)</p> <p>Step 2: Calculate the test statistic. The formula for the t statistic is:</p> <p>t = (x̄ - μ) / (s/√n)</p> <p>where x̄ is the sample mean, μ is the population mean, s is the sample standard deviation, and n is the sample size.</p> <p>t = (75 - 100) / (50/√8) = -1.414</p> <p>Step 3: Determine the critical value from the t-distribution table. For a one-tailed test at the 10% significance level with 7 degrees of freedom (n-1), the critical value is -1.415.</p> <p>Step 4: Compare the test statistic with the critical value. If the test statistic is less than the critical value, we reject the null hypothesis. In this case, -1.414 is greater than -1.415, so we do not reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, we cannot infer at the 10% significance level that the population mean is less than 100.</p> <p>b) If we know that the population standard deviation is 50, we can perform a z-test instead of a t-test.</p> <p>Step 1: The null and alternative hypotheses are the same as in part (a).</p> <p>Step 2: Calculate the z statistic using the formula:</p> <p>z = (x̄ - μ) / (σ/√n)</p> <p>where σ is the population standard deviation.</p> <p>z = (75 - 100) / (50/√8) = -1.414</p> <p>Step 3: Determine the critical value from the z-distribution table.

In this case, -1.414 is less than -1.28, so we reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, we can infer at the 10% significance level that the population mean is less than 100.</p> <p>c) The test statistics differ because a t-test is used when the population standard deviation is unknown and is estimated from the sample, while a z-test is used when the population standard deviation is known. The t-distribution is wider and has heavier tails than the z-distribution, which leads to a larger critical value and a higher chance of not rejecting the null hypothesis.</p> ####
