Determine which is the appropriate approach for conducting a hypothesis test. ​Claim: The mean RDA of sodium is 2400mg. Sample​ data: n​150, ​3400, s550. The sample data appear to come from a normally distributed population.

Answer:

Use the student t distribution

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the formula

t = (x - u) ÷(s/√N)

From the information we have in the question:

n = 150

s = 550

x = 3400

u = mean = 2400

= 3400 - 2400÷ 500/√150

= 1000/44.9

= 22.27

At 0.05 significance level, df = 149 so t tabulated will be 1.65.

  • We cannot use normal distribution since we do not have population standard deviation
  • We cannot use normal distribution since we do not have population standard deviationChisquare cannot be used since we are not testing for population variance
  • We cannot use normal distribution since we do not have population standard deviationChisquare cannot be used since we are not testing for population varianceThe parametric or bootstrap method cannot be used either.
