We want to conduct a hypothesis test of the claim that for middle-aged adults the population mean of their cholesterol levels is less than 187.6
We choose
dL
mg
and a standard deviation of 18
dL
mg
a random sample of such levels. The sample has a mean of 190.6
dL
For each of the following sampling scenarios, choose an appropriate test statistic for our hypothesis test on the population mean. Then calculate that statistic.
Round your answers to two decimal places.
(a) The sample has size 15, and it is from a normally distributed population with a known standard deviation of 19.3.
O z =1

Just choose the correct answers. Thank you for your help A scientist has read that the mean birth weight, μ, of babies born at full term is 7.2 pounds. The scientist, believing that μ is less than this value, plans to perform a statistical test. She selects a random sample of birth weights of babies born at full term and finds the mean of the sample to be 6.9 pounds and the standard deviation to be 1.7 pounds. Based on this information, answer the questions below. What are the null hypothesis (H0) and the alternative hypothesis (H1) that should be used for the test? H0: (choose one) less than, less than or equal to, greater than, greater than or equal to, equal to, or not equal to. (choose one) 6.9 pounds, 7.2 pounds, or 1.7 pounds. H1: (Choose one) less than, less than or equal to, greater than, greater than or equal to, equal to, or not equal to. (Choose one) 6.9 pounds, 7.2 pounds, or 1.7 pounds.
