Question

1.        Use the methodspecified to perform the hypothesis test for the population mean m.WeatherBug say that the mean daily high for December in a largeFlorida city is F. WFLA weather suspects that thistemperature is not accurate. A hypothesis test is performed thedetermine if the mean is actually lower than F. Assumethat the population standard deviation of s = F. A sample of meandaily temperatures for December over the past 40 years gives F.At a = 0.01, does the data provide sufficient evidence toconclude that the mean temperature is lower than F.

a. Use the critical value z0method from the normal distribution.

: Ho : µ =
Ha : Ha : µ

1.     a= .

2.     Teststatistics: and z =
and p = which is greater than Alpha

3.     P-value orcritical z0 or t0.

Explanation / Answer

for this problem you are going to use a Z test not a T test b/c youuse t test when n is less than 30. Which is not the case here b/c nis 40. you set it up as: Ho : µ = 76 Ha : µ < 76 because it is a
