Consider the following hypothesis test $H_0 : \mu ≥ 16$ $H_1 : \mu < 16 $ A sample of 36 provided a sample mean of 15.4. The population standard deviation is 3. The value of the test statistics 't' is, |
-2.2 1.25 -1.2 1.42 |
-1.2 |
The correct answer is Option (3) → -1.2 The test statistic is calculated as, $z=\frac{\bar x-μ_0}{σ/\sqrt{n}}$ $=\frac{15.4-16}{3/\sqrt{36}}=-\frac{0.6}{0.5}$ $=-1.2$ |
