Determine the direction of the hypothesis test (one-sided left, one-sided right, bidirectional)
Determine the test statistic (z* or t*) and the p-value for each of the following situations and
Determine if they would cause the rejection of the null hypothesis if the confidence level was set
at 95% in each case. (Hint: be wary of the sample size) [2 points each]:
a) Ho: μ = 50 mL, Ha: μ ≠ 50 mL, sample mean = 48.1 mL, sample standard deviation = 5, n = 40
b) Ho: μ ≤ 8.4 m3, Ha: μ > 8.4 m3, sample mean = 10 m3, s = 3.5, n = 25
c) Ho: μ ≥ 20oC, Ha: μ < 20oC , sample mean = 17.1oC, s =4.6oC, n = 12
d) Ho: μ = 357 s, Ha: μ ≠ 380 s, sample mean = 410 s, s = 75, n = 40
e) Ho: μ ≤ 46 units, Ha: μ > 46 units, sample mean = 50 units, s = 9.5, n = 41
