-Test the claim that for the population of female college students, the mean weight is given by $\mu = 132 \mathrm { lb }$. Sample data are summarized as $\mathrm { n } = 20 , \overline { \mathrm { x } } = 137 \mathrm { lb }$, and $\mathrm { s } = 14.2 \mathrm { lb }$. Use a significance level of $\alpha = 0.1$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Answer is

\alpha = 0.1

Test statistic:

\mathrm { t } = 1.57

P-value:

p = 0.1318

Critical values:

\mathrm { t } = \pm 1.729

Because the test statistic,

\mathrm { t } < 1.729

, we fail to reject the null hypothesis. There is not sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that

\mu = 132 \mathrm { lb }

.
