Question
It has long been stated that the mean temperature of humans is 98.6°F. However, two researchers currently involved in the subject thought that the mean
temperature of humans is less than 98.6°F. They measured the temperatures of 44 healthy adults 1 to 4 times daily for 3 days, obtaining 200 measurements. The
sample data resulted in a sample mean of 98.2°F and a sample standard deviation of 0.9°F. Use the P-value approach to conduct a hypothesis test to judge whether
the mean temperature of humans is less than 98.6°F at the a=0.01 level of significance.
Stale ihe nyponeses.
Но
= 98.6°F
98.6°F
Find the test statistic.
to = - 6.29
(Round to two decimal places as needed.)
The P-value is 000
(Round to three decimal places as needed.)
What can be concluded?
O A. Do not reject Ho since the P-value is not less than the significance level.
O B. Reject Ho since the P-value is less than the significance level.
O C. Do not reject H, since the P-value is less than the significance level.
O D. Reject H, since the P-value is not less than the significance level.
