Consider the following hypothesis test : $H_0 : \mu ≤20$ $H_a : \mu > 20 $ A sample of 49 provided a sample mean of 19.40. The population standard deviation is 2. The value of the test statistic is : |
-1.5 -2.1 1.5 -2.3 |
-2.1 |
The correct answer is Option (2) → -2.1 The z-score formula, $z=\frac{\bar x-μ_0}{σ/\sqrt{n}}$ $=\frac{19.40-20}{2/\sqrt{49}}=\frac{-0.60}{0.2857}$ $≃-2.1$ |
