Explanation / Answer
Here we have to test the hypothesis that,
H0 : mu = 0 Vs H1 : mu 0
where mu is population mean.
Assume alpha = 5% = 0.05
This we can done using MINITAB.
steps :
Enter all the data in MINITAB sheet --> Stat --> One sample-t --> samples in columns : C1 --> Perform hypothesis tests --> Hypothesized mean : 0 --> Options --> Confidence level : 95.0 --> Alternative : not equal --> ok --> ok
One-Sample T: C1
Test of mu = 0 vs not = 0
Variable N Mean StDev SE Mean 95% CI T P
C1 50 1689.18 4573.26 646.76 (389.47, 2988.89) 2.61 0.012
Test statistic T = 2.61
P-value = 0.012
P-value < alpha
Reject H0 at 5% level of significance.
COnclusion : Population mean is differ than 0.
95% confidence interval for population mean is (389.47, 2988.89).
