Question
It is commonly believed that the mean body temperature of a healthy adult is 98.6° F. You are not entirely
convinced. You believe that it is not 98.6°F.
You collected data using 51 healthy people and found that they had a mean body temperature of 98.27°F
with a standard deviation of 1.14°F.
Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the mean body temperature of a healthy adult is <
98.6° F.
a) Identify the null and alternative hypotheses?
Но: [2
HẠ: ?
b) What type of hypothesis test should you conduct (left-, right-, or two-tailed)?
O left-tailed
O right-tailed
O two-tailed
c) Identify the appropriate significance level.
d) Calculate your test statistic. Write the result below, and be sure to round your final answer to 3 decimal
places.
e) Calculate your p-value. Write the result below, and be sure to round your final answer to 3 decimal
places.
f) Do you reject the null hypothesis?
O We reject the null hypothesis, since the p-value is less than the significance level.
O We fail to reject the null hypothesis, since the p-value is not less than the significance level.
g) Select the statement below that best represents the conclusion that can be made.
O The sample data support the claim that the mean body temperature of a healthy adult is < 98.6° F.
O There is not sufficient sample evidence to support the claim that the mean body temperature of a
healthy adult is < 98.6° F.
