In a sample of 51 randomly selected people, the mean of the yearly consumption was 53.7 gallons. The standard deviation of the population is 3.5 gallons.

Explanation / Answer

Data:     

n = 51    

= 52    

s = 3.5    

x-bar = 53.7    

Hypotheses:    

Ho: = 52    

Ha: 52    

Decision Rule:    

= 0.01    

Lower Critical z- score = -2.575829304   

Upper Critical z- score = 2.575829304   

Reject Ho if |z| > 2.575829304   

Test Statistic:    

SE = s/n = 3.5/51 = 0.490098029   

z = (x-bar - )/SE = (53.7 - 52)/0.490098029409803 = 3.468693808

p- value = 0.000522995    

Decision (in terms of the hypotheses):   

Since 3.468693808 > 2.575829304 we reject Ho and accept Ha

Conclusion (in terms of the problem):   

The researcher's claim that = 52 is not valid.
