Math Problem Statement

recalculate the test statistic

Solution

To recalculate the test statistic, let's follow these steps carefully:

  1. State the Hypotheses:

    • Null Hypothesis (H0H_0): Typically, μ=μ0\mu = \mu_0 (mean is equal to a specific value).
    • Alternative Hypothesis (HaH_a): μμ0\mu \neq \mu_0 or as specified in the problem.
  2. Identify the Given Information:

    • Sample Mean (xˉ\bar{x})
    • Population Mean under H0H_0 (μ0\mu_0)
    • Sample Standard Deviation (ss)
    • Sample Size (nn)
  3. Calculate the Test Statistic: The formula for the test statistic tt in a one-sample tt-test is: t=xˉμ0snt = \frac{\bar{x} - \mu_0}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}

    Substitute the values provided into this formula.

If you provide me with the specific values for the sample mean, hypothesized population mean, sample standard deviation, and sample size, I can complete the calculation for you.

Would you like to continue with this explanation? Let me know the values, and we’ll proceed.


  1. What values do I need for calculating a two-sample test statistic?
  2. Can the same formula apply to large and small sample sizes?
  3. How do critical values relate to the test statistic?
  4. How does this differ for a two-tailed vs. a one-tailed test?
  5. When is the zz-test preferred over the tt-test?

Tip: For small sample sizes (usually n<30n < 30), ensure you use the tt-distribution over the zz-distribution.
