Question

(b) (15 pt) We observed the following data of size 20: 4.20,0.50, 1.25, 3.45,2.00,0.35, 0.15, 0.35, 1.50, 0.85, 2.50,3.80, 0.50, 1.50, 0.05,1.35, 1.15, 1.00,0.95, 0.25. (The data can also be found in file "HW1Q1.txt" under Files/Homework/ on Canvas.) (i) We denote the population mean to be . Conduct the one sample t-test: H0 : = 1 vs. Ha : > 1, under significance level 0.05. Report the test statistic, null distribution, decision rule, and conclusion (ii) Suppose you are told that the true population distribution is the exponential dis- tribution, what would be your concerns on the test in part (i)?

Explanation / Answer

One-Sample T: C5

Test of = 1 vs > 1


Variable   N   Mean StDev    SE Mean   95 % Lower Bound     T      P
C5            20 1.383 1.228    0.275              0.908       1.39 0.090

here p-value= 0.09 > 0.05

hence we fail to reject the null hypothesis
