Question
Part 1 of 4
Victoria, an accomplished marathon runner, claims that the standard deviation for her time to run a
26.2 mile marathon is less than 17.5 minutes. To test her claim, Victoria looks up 11 of her race
times (in minutes):
227.2, 233.3, 259.7, 265.8, 252.1, 228.8, 222.6, 202.9, 214.5, 237.2, 267.7
Perform a hypothesis test using a 9% level of significance to test Victoria's claim.
Step 1: State the null and alternative hypotheses.
Ho:o 2v 17.5
Ha:o<v
17.5
(So we will be performing a left-tailed
test.)
Part 2 of 4
Step 2: Assuming the null hypothesis is true, determine the features of the distribution of
test statistics.
Because we are testing the population standard deviation, we will use a x
distribution with 10
v degrees of freedom.
Part 3 of 4
Step 3: Find the p-value of the test statistic.
Sample Mean: ¤ =
Sample Standard Deviation: s =
P(x ?
