In a study using a sample of n=9 participants, the individuals who wore a t-shirt produced an average estimate of m=6.4 with ss=162. the average number who said they noticed was 3.1. is the estimate from the participants significantly different from the actual number? test the null hypothesis that the true mean is µ=3.1 using a two tailed test with a=.05.

If we compare the p value and a significance level given we see that so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, so we can conclude that the lifetime is signficantly different from 3.1.    

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation    

represent the sample mean

represent the population standard deviation    

sample size    

represent the value that we want to test    

represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.    

SS=162 represent the sum of squares.

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)    

represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)    

State the null and alternative hypotheses.    

We need to apply a two tailed  test.  

What are H0 and Ha for this study?    

Null hypothesis:    

Alternative hypothesis :  

Compute the test statistic  

The statistic for this case is given by:  

(1)    

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".    

Calculate the statistic    

First we need to calculate the sample deviation given by this formula:

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:    

Give the appropriate conclusion for the test  

Since is a two tailed test the p value would be:    

Conclusion    

If we compare the p value and a significance level given we see that so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, so we can conclude that the lifetime is signficantly different from 3.1.    

the answer is b.
