Consider the following hypotheses:

H0: μ = 380
HA: μ ≠ 380

The population is normally distributed with a population standarddeviation of 77. (You may find it useful to reference theappropriate table: z table or ttable)

a-1. Calculate the value of the test statisticwith x−x− = 390 and n = 45. (Round intermediatecalculations to at least 4 decimal places and final answer to 2decimal places.)

a-2. What is the conclusion at the 10%significance level?

  • Reject H0 since the p-value is lessthan the significance level.

  • Reject H0 since the p-value isgreater than the significance level.

  • Do not reject H0 since the p-valueis less than the significance level.

  • Do not reject H0 since the p-valueis greater than the significance level.


a-3. Interpret the results at αα = 0.10.

  • We conclude that the population mean differs from 380.

  • We cannot conclude that the population mean differs from380.

  • We conclude that the sample mean differs from 380.

  • We cannot conclude that the sample mean differs from 380.



b-1. Calculate the value of the test statisticwith x−x− = 345 and n = 45. (Negative value shouldbe indicated by a minus sign. Round intermediate calculations to atleast 4 decimal places and final answer to 2 decimalplaces.)


b-2. What is the conclusion at the 5% significancelevel?

  • Reject H0 since the p-value isgreater than the significance level.

  • Reject H0 since the p-value is lessthan the significance level.

  • Do not reject H0 since the p-valueis greater than the significance level.

  • Do not reject H0 since the p-valueis less than the significance level.

b-3. Interpret the results at αα = 0.05.

  • We conclude that the population mean differs from 380.

  • We cannot conclude that the population mean differs from380.

  • We conclude that the sample mean differs from 380.

  • We cannot conclude that the sample mean differs from 380.
