Question:
Example 5 in Section 8-3 involved a test of the claim that humans have body temperatures with a mean equal to 98.6°F. The sample of 106 body temperatures has a standard deviation of 0.62°F. The conclusion in that example would change if the sample standard deviation s were 2.08°F or greater. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the sample of 106 body temperatures is from a population with a standard deviation less than 2.08°F. What does the result tell us about the validity of the hypothesis test in Example 5 in Section 8-3?
Test the given claim. Identify the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, P-value, or critical value(s), then state the conclusion about the null hypothesis, as well as the final conclusion that addresses the original claim. Assume that a simple random sample is selected from a normally distributed population.
