An oceanographer claims that the
- H0:
- H1:
- The test statistic is
- The p-value for this hypothesis test is .
- The correct decision is:
- Reject the claim.
- Do not reject the null hypothesis.
- Reject the alternative hypothesis.
- Reject the null hypothesis.
- Is the result considered significant?
- Yes. The result is significant because the p-value is >α>α.
- No. The result is not significant because the p-value is ≤α≤α.
- Yes. The result is significant because the p-value is ≤α≤α.
- No. The result is not significant because the p-value is >α>α.
- We conclude that:
- We can dispute the oceanographer's claim that the mean dive depth of a North Atlantic right whale is 93 meters at the 0.01 level of significance.
- We cannot dispute the oceanographer's claim that the mean dive depth of a North Atlantic right whale is 93 meters at the 0.01 level of significance.
