Testing a Single Mean

Testing a Single Mean

Answers


  1. The population standard deviation is known.

  2. The standard error of the mean is \(2.5\). You then find the probability of a sample mean more than \(25-20=5\) from the population mean of \(20\). This is the probability outside \(15\) and \(25\) given a distribution with a mean of \(20\) and a standard deviation of \(2.5\). The probability is .0455.

  3. \(2.6693\) Make sure you divide by \(\mathrm{N}-1\).

  4. \(0.9437\) You divide \(s\) by the square root of \(\mathrm{N}\).

  5. You divide \(\mathrm{M}=1.625\) by the standard error of the mean \((.9437)\) to get \(1.72\).

  6. You use \(N-1=7\) degrees of freedom. \(p=.1288\)

  7. \(t=1.4626\)

  8. \(t=-0.7917\)

  9. \(p=0.8319\)
