3. A fitness center claims that its members lose an average of 12 pounds or more the first
month after joining the center. An independent agency that wanted to check this claim
took a sample of 45 members and found that they lost an average of 10 pounds within the
first month with standard deviation of 3 pounds. Find the p-value for this test. What will
your decision be if a =0.05?
Solution:
Step 1: State the hypotheses.
Step 2: The level of significance and critical region. a =,
and zeritical =
Step 3: Compute for the value of one sample z test. zcomguted =
and p-value =
Step 4: Decision rule.
Step 5: Conclusion.
