Sagot :
the a. Use the five steps of hypothesis testing
Step 1: Restate the question as a research hypothesis and a null hypothesis about the populations
The research hypothesis is that driving speed is different after the placement of the speed sign from the mean driving speed of the population of people driving through the intersection: u1 ≠ u2.
The null hypothesis is that both populations will have the same mean speed: u1 = u2
Step 2: Determine characteristics of the comparison distribution and the critical cut-off
μM = μ = 35
σ^2M = σ^2/N = 7.5^2/40 = 56.25/40=1.406
σM = 1.185 = 1.19
Two-tailed cut-offs, 0.01 significance level are 2.58 and -2.58
Step 3: Determine sample score on the comparison distribution
Mean = 32
σM = 2
Population 1: people driving at a particular intersection
Population 2: first 40 people to travel past school zone intersection after sign is placed
Z = (M- μM)/ σM = (32-35)/2 = -1.5
Step 4: Conclusion (Accept or Reject the null hypothesis)
Z score of the sample's mean is -1.5, which is less extreme than -2.58;
Accept the null hypothesis.
And then conclude that the null hypothesis is that both populations will have the same mean speed: u1 = u2
