A university is interested in promoting graduates of its honors program by establishing that the mean GPA of these graduates exceeds 3.50. A sample of 36 honors students is taken and is found to have a mean GPA equal to 3.60. The population standard deviation is assumed to equal 0.40. The value of the test statistic is

Step-by-step explanation:

Population Mean (u) = 3.50

Sample (n)= 36

Sample mean (x) = 3.60

Population standard deviation (s)= 0.40

Test statistics:

(Null hypothesis) H0: u= 3.5 (Population mean is equal to 3.5)

(Alternate hypothesis) H1: u> 3.5 (Population mean is greater than 3.5)

Z= = = = 1.5

critical value= Z0.05= 1.645 (From Z table)

Since, Z value is less than critical Z value that is Z<1.645

We cannot reject null hypothesis

So, we decide to reject that the mean GPA of graduates exceeds 3.50

answer: cos [   arcsin (3/5) - arccos (1/2) ] =

step-by-step explanation: × = 3/5 = 0.6--> x = 36.87 and x = 180 - 36.87 = 143.13 deg

cos y = 1/2 --> y = +- 60 deg a. cos (x - y) = cos (143.13 - 60) = cos 83,13  

=

0.12

b. cos (36.87 - 60) = cos (-23.23) = 0.92
