test the claim about the population mean μ at the given level of significance using the given sample statistics. Claim: μ ≠ 5000; α =0.06. Sample statistics: x= 5100, s = 343, n = 50 identify the null and alternative hypotheses.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Null hypothesis = [tex]H_0:\mu = 5000[/tex]

Alternate hypothesis=  [tex]H_a:\mu \neq 5000[/tex]

We accept the null hypothesis

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Claim: μ ≠ 5000; α =0.06. Sample statistics: x= 5100, s = 343, n = 50

To Find :test the claim about the population mean μ at the given level of significance using the given sample statistics. and identify the null and alternative hypotheses.

Solution:

Claim: μ ≠ 5000; α =0.06

So, Null hypothesis = [tex]H_0:\mu = 5000[/tex]

Alternate hypothesis=  [tex]H_a:\mu \neq 5000[/tex]

Sample statistics: x= 5100, s = 343, n = 50

Since n > 30

So, we will use z test

[tex]z =\frac{x-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

Substitute the values

[tex]z =\frac{5100-5000}{\frac{343}{\sqrt{50}}}[/tex]

[tex]z =2.06[/tex]

refer the z value using z table

P(z) = 0.9803

So, p value is 0.9803

Since p value is greater than α

So, we accept the null hypothesis
