Test of Hypothesis Concerning Population Mean: Solution

This document describes a hypothesis test concerning a population mean. The null hypothesis (H0) is that the population mean (μ) equals 70, and the alternative hypothesis (H1) is that the population mean is greater than 70. With a significance level of 0.05, a sample size of 100, a sample mean of 71.8, and a sample standard deviation of 8.9, the test statistic z is calculated to be 2.0224719101. Since this value exceeds the critical value of 1.645, the null hypothesis is rejected, allowing the conclusion that the true population mean is greater than 70.

Q7: TEST OF HYPOTHESIS CONCERNING POPULATION MEAN

SOLUTION: H: = 70
H: > 70

= 0.05

N= 100
X'= 71.8
= 8.9
T= 1.645 (FROM TABLE)
CONFIDENCE: 1.7443679462

CRITICAL REGION: z>1.645

z= 2.0224719101

DECISION: AS T<z, REJECT THE HYPOTHESIS..

CONCLUSION: MEAN IS GREATER THAN 70


(FROM TABLE)
