Consider the following hypothesis test. H0: μ ≥ 55 Ha: μ < 55 A sample of 36 is used. Identify the p-value and state your conclusion for each of the following sample results. Use α = 0.01. (a) x = 54 and s = 5.3 Find the value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
Find the p-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
State your conclusion.
(b) x = 53 and s = 4.6
Find the value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
Find the p-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
p-value =
(c) x = 56 and s = 5.0
Find the value of the test statistic.
Find the p-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
p-value =
State your conclusion.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

(a) For x = 54 and s = 5.3

The test statistics can be computed as:

Z = -1.132

degree of freedom = n - 1

= 36 - 1

= 35

Using the Excel Formula:

P-Value = T.DIST(-1.132,35,1) = 0.1326

Decision: p-value is greater than significance level; do not reject

b

For x = 53 and s = 4.6

The test statistics can be computed as:

Z = -2.6087

degree of freedom = n - 1

= 36 - 1

= 35

Using the Excel Formula:

P-Value = T.DIST(-2.6087,35,1) =0.0066

Decision: p-value is < significance level; we reject the null hypothesis.

c)

For x = 56 and s = 5.0

The test statistics can be computed as:

Z = 1.2

degree of freedom = n - 1

= 36 - 1

= 35

Using the Excel Formula:

P-Value = T.DIST(1.2,35,1) = 0.88009

Decision: p-value is greater than significance level; do not reject

let's cover over the formula of the vertex:

y = a(x – h)^2 + k

in this formula, (h,k) are the vertex, always remember that the positive or negative value of the vertex is based on the sign it has.

for example, if the vertex is -3,-6 then both the x and y value would have the positive sign attached to it and if it were a positive x and y value, then a negative sign would be attached to it.

with that being said, for our problem the x value is a positive one so we are looking for a number with a negative sign next to it, in this case the first and second choice.

however, for the first answer choice it isn't quite part of the formula so we know that the answer choice correctly displays the x value.

to confirm, we can see if the -1 fits correctly with the second answer choice, and as mentioned above a negative number will have a positive sign attached to it. so, for our problem we can see that -1 has been changed to +1, so we can confirm that the second answer choice is correct.

hence, our final answer is y=(x - 1)^2 + 1
