Rachel measures the lengths of a random sample of 100 screws. The mean length was 2.6 inches, with a standard deviation of 1.0 inches. Using the alternative hypothesis (µ < µ0), Rachel found that a z-test statistic was equal to -1.25. What is the p-value of the test statistic? Answer choices are rounded to the thousandths place.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the alternative hypothesis (µ < µ0),

To find the p-value with test statistic -1.25 and assuming a standard level of significance of 0.05, using a p value calculator, the p-value is 0.1057 which is great that 0.05. Thus, the results is not significant.

Using the p value calculation.

1. Check the left tailed z table as the test statistic is negative,

2. Then find the probabilitythat z is greater than your test statistic (look up your test statistic on the z-table- the value under 1.2 and 0.05 which is 0.8944

3. Then, find its corresponding probability, and subtract it from 1 to get your p-value- 1-0.8944 = 0.1056.
