Question

To test H0:μ=80H_{0}: \mu=80 versus H1:μ<80H_{1}: \mu<80, a simple random sample of size n=22 is obtained from a population that is known to be normally distributed.

If xˉ=76.9\bar{x}=76.9 and s=8.5, compute the test statistic.

Given:

H0:μ=80H_0:\mu=80

H1:μ<80H_1:\mu<80

n=22n=22

x=76.9\overline{x}=76.9

s=8.5s=8.5

α=0.02\alpha=0.02

Determine the value of the test statistic:

t=xμ0s/n=76.9808.5/221.711t=\dfrac{\overline{x}-\mu_0}{s/\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{76.9-80}{8.5/\sqrt{22}}\approx -1.711
