Teresa works at a medium-sized doctor's office and notices that appointment times are approximately normally distributed with mean 25 minutes and standard deviation 10 minutes. A patient complains that the wait times are too long and that her average wait time is much longer than 25 minutes. Teresa decides to conduct a test with a = 0.05 and the following hypotheses Ho: H=25 vs. Ha:μ> 25 Teresa randomly selects 25 appointments and records their times and finds their mean. The P-value of the test of the null hypothesis is O the probability the null hypothesis is false. O the probability, assuming the null hypothesis is true, that the test statistic will take a value at least as extreme as that actually observed. O the probability, assuming the null hypothesis is false, that the test statistic will take a value at least as extreme as that actually observed. O the probability the null hypothesis is true.arrow_forwardSuppos are interested in studying a population to estimate its mean. The population is normal and has a standard deviation of G=23. We have taken a random sample of size 11=95 from the population. This is Sample 1 in the table below. (In the table, Sample 1 is written "S1", Sample 2 is written "S2", etc.) As shown in the table, the sample mean of Sample 1 is = 142.0. Also shown are the lower and upper limits of the 80% confidence interval for the population mean using this sample, as well as the lower and upper limits of the 95% confidence interval. Suppose that the true mean of the population is = 140, which is shown on the displays for the confidence intervals. Press the "Generate Samples" button to simulate taking 19 more random samples of size 11 = 95 from this same population. (The 80% and 95% confidence intervals for all of the samples are shown in the table and graphed.)
