Math Problem Statement
A simple random sample of size nequals15 is drawn from a population that is normally distributed. The sample mean is found to be x overbarequals22.2 and the sample standard deviation is found to be sequals6.3. Determine if the population mean is different from 25 at the alpha equals 0.01 level of significance. Complete parts (a) through (d) below. Question content area bottom Part 1 (a) Determine the null and alternative hypotheses. Upper H 0: mu equals 25 Upper H 1: mu not equals 25 Part 2 (b) Calculate the P-value. P-valueequals
0.107 (Round to three decimal places as needed.) Part 3 (c) State the conclusion for the test. A. Reject Upper H 0 because the P-value is greater than the alphaequals0.01 level of significance. B. Do not reject Upper H 0 because the P-value is less than the alphaequals0.01 level of significance. C. Do not reject Upper H 0 because the P-value is greater than the alphaequals0.01 level of significance. D. Reject Upper H 0 because the P-value is less than the alphaequals0.01 level of significance.
