Question
Use a hypothesis test to test the given claim.
A test of sobriety involves measuring the subject's motor skills. Twenty randomly selected sober subjects take the test and produce amean score of 41.0 with a standard deviation of 3.4. At a significance level of 0.01, test the claim that the true mean score for all sober subjects is equal to 39.0.

Choose the best asnwer below:
A. Reject the null hypothesis of μ = 39.0 with a P-value of 0.00823. B. There is strong evidence that the true mean score for sober subjects is not 39.0.
C. Fail to reject the null hypothesis of μ = 39.0 with a P-value of 0.01647. There is not sufficient evidence that the true mean score for sober subjects is different from 39.0.
D. Reject the null hypothesis of μ = 39.0 with a P-value of 0.01647. There is sufficient evidence that the true mean score for sober subjects is different from 39.0.
E. There is not enough information to perform the test.
F. Fail to reject the null hypothesis of μ = 39.0 with a P-value of 0.02647. There is not sufficient evidence that the true mean score for sober subjects is different from 39.0.

- Kenneth, a competitor in cup stacking, claims that his average stacking time is 8.2 seconds. During a practice session, Kenneth has a sample stacking time mean of 7.8 seconds based on 11 trials. At the 4% significance level, does the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that Kenneth's mean stacking time is less than 8.2 seconds? Accept or reject the hypothesis given the sample data below. H0:μ=8.2 seconds; Ha:μ<8.2 seconds α=0.04 (significance level) z0=−1.75 p=0.0401 Select the correct answer below: a. Do not reject the null hypothesis because the p-value 0.0401 is greater than the significance level α=0.04. b. Reject the null hypothesis because the p-value 0.0401 is greater than the significance level α=0.04. c. Reject the null hypothesis because the value of z is negative. d.
