H 0 : μ ≥ 25 H 1 : μ < 25 Your sample consists of 28 subjects, with a mean of 23.2 and standard deviation of 8.6. Calculate the test statistic, rounded to 2 decimal places.

Answer:

The test statistic would be given by:

[tex]t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]  (1)  

And replacing we got:

[tex]t=\frac{23.2-25}{\frac{8.6}{\sqrt{28}}}=-1.11[/tex]    

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

[tex]\bar X=23.6[/tex] represent the sample mean

[tex]s=8.6[/tex] represent the sample standard deviation

[tex]n=28[/tex] sample size  

[tex]\mu_o =25[/tex] represent the value that we want to test

t would represent the statistic

System of hypothesis

We want to test if the true mean is lower than 25, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:[tex]\mu \geq 25[/tex]  

Alternative hypothesis:[tex]\mu < 25[/tex]  

The test statistic would be given by:

[tex]t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]  (1)  

And replacing we got:

[tex]t=\frac{23.2-25}{\frac{8.6}{\sqrt{28}}}=-1.11[/tex]
