A random sample of 16 values is drawn from a mound-shaped and symmetric distribution. The sample mean is 12 and the sample standard deviation is 2. Use a level of significance of 0.05 to conduct a two-tailed test of the claim that the population mean is 11.5.

Answer:

we conclude that population mean is not 11.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypothesis :

H0 : μ = 11.5

H1 : μ ≠ 11.5

The test statistic :

(xbar - μ) ÷ (s/√(n))

Test statistic = (12 - 11.5) ÷ (2/√(16))

Test statistic = (0.5) ÷ (2 ÷ 4)

Test statistic = 0.5 / 0.5

Test statistic = 1

The Pvalue from test statistic value, df = n - 1 = 16 - 1 = 15

Pvalue = 0.333

Pvalue > α ; we fail to reject the null ; Hence, we conclude that population mean is not 11.5
