Arandom sample of 25 values is drawn from a mound-shaped and symmetrical distribution. the sample mean is 10 and the sample standard deviation is 2. use a level of significance of 0.05 to conduct a two-tailed test of the claim that the population mean is 9.5.
(a) is it appropriate to use a student's t distribution? explain. how many degrees of freedom do we use?
(b) what are the hypotheses?
(c) compute the sample test statistic t.
(d) estimate the p-value for the test.
(e) do we reject or fail to reject h_0?
(f) interpret the results.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that random sample of 25 values is drawn from a mound-shaped and symmetrical distribution. The sample mean is 10 and the sample standard deviation is 2.

95 % CI for mean  9.1744 to 10.8256

Since p >0.05 accept null hypothesis.

a) Yes because std dev sigma not known.  df = 24

b)

H0:  x bar = 9.5

Ha: x bar not equals 9.5

c) t-statistic  1.250

d) P = 0.2234

e) We fail to reject null hypothesis

f) There is no statistical evidence at 5% level to fail to reject H0.

answer: just subtact the units and then add the non negative : happy to
