The magic dragon cigarette company claims that their cigarettes contain an average of only 10 mg of tar. a random sample of 100 magic dragon cigarettes shows the average tar content to be 11.5 mg with a known population standard deviation of 4.5 mg. construct a hypothesis test to determine whether the average tar content of magic dragon cigarettes exceeds 10 mg. use a 5% level of significance. what is the critical value method and pvalue method

Critical value

The significance is 5% so then and then the critical value for this case would be . Since the calculated value is higher than the critical value we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean is higher than 10 mg

P value

The p value would be given

Since the p value is lower than the significance level we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean is significantly higher than 10 mg

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

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.  

t would represent the statistic

represent the p value

Hypothesis to test

We want to test if the true mean is higher than 10mg, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:  

Alternative hypothesis:  

the statistic for this case would be given by:

 (1)  

Replacing we got:

Critical value

The significance is 5% so then and then the critical value for this case would be . Since the calculated value is higher than the critical value we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean is higher than 10 mg

P value

The p value would be given

Since the p value is lower than the significance level we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean is significantly higher than 10 mg

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
