- State the null and alternative hypothesis (Ho and Ha).
- What are the n,
, s? - Compute the t-statistic. What is the degree of freedom (df)?
- Find P-value from the table-D.
- Test the hypothesis at the significance level =0.05. Reject Ho or Ha? Why?
- What conclusion can you make about the mean weight of students?
Construct 95% Confidence Interval for the students mean weight.
- What value for t* should you use? Find the t* value from table-D.
- Do the calculation for the 95% Confidence Interval.
- Based on the 95% Confidence Interval from i), what conclusion can you make about the hypothesis in a)? Why?
