Question

Use a t-test to test the claim about the population mean

at the given level of significance

using the given sample statistics. Assume the population is normally distributed.

Claim:

μ≠26;

α=0.05

Sample statistics:

x=23.2,

s=4.7,

n=14

What are the null and alternative hypotheses? Choose the correct answer below.

H0:μ≥26

Ha:μ<26

H0:μ=26

Ha:μ≠26

H0:μ≠26

Ha:μ=26

H0:μ≤26

Ha:μ>26

The standardized test statistic is =

(Round to two decimal places as needed.)

What is the P-value of the test statistic?

P= Round to three decimal places as needed.)

Decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis.

Reject H0. There is enough evidence to support the claim.

Fail to reject H0. There is enough evidence to support the claim.

Reject H0. There is not enough evidence to support the claim.

Fail to reject H0. There is not enough evidence to support the claim.

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
