Transcribed Image Text:ES
We want to conduct a hypothesis test of the claim that the population mean germination time of strawberry seeds is different from 19.2 days. So, we choose a
random sample of strawberries. The sample has a mean of 19 days and a standard deviation of 1.4 days.
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 19, and it is from a normally distributed population with an unknown standard deviation.
O z =

It is important that the diameters be as close as possible to an industry standard. The output from each process is sampled, and the average error from the industry standard is measured in millimeters. The results are presented here. Process A Process B Sample mean 2.0 3.0 Standard deviation 1.0 0.5 Sample size 12 14 The researcher is interested in determining whether there is evidence that the two processes yield different average errors. The population standard deviations are unknown but are assumed equal. This example is what type of test?
