Question

Transcribed Image Text:Consider a random sample of size n from a normal distribution with unknown mean u and unknown variance o?. Suppose the sample mean is
X and the sample variance is S?.
n = 16, the observed sample mean ī is 8.9. the observed sample variance s? is 25 and 4o = 10.5.
Suppose we now want to test Ho : o? = of versus H1 : o? + of.
Which of these test statistics should we use?
Select one:
(n-1)s
O a. W =
of
O b. Z=
O c. T=
Let of = 36. What is the (appropriate) observed test statistic? Give answer to three decimal places.
Finally, we will compute a 99% confidence interval for o?.
What is the lower endpoint of this 99% confidence interval? Give answer to three decimal places.
What is the upper endpoint of this 99% confidence interval? Give answer to three decimal places.

Assume that the paired sample data is a simple random sample and that the differences have a distribution that is approximately normal.

Right arm Left arm 150 142 120 131 167 160 179 156 In this example, Hd is the mean value of the differences d for the population of all pairs of data, where each individual difference d is defined as the measurement from the right arm minus the measurement from the left arm. What are the null and alternative hypotheses for the hypothesis test? O A. Ho: Hd = 0 H₁: Hd 0 Since the P-value is than the significance level, the null hypothesis. There sufficient evidence to support the claim of a difference in measurements between the two arms.arrow_forwardBhuro.0p0arrow_forward
