Given the following values: μ = 6.0, m = 7.6, n = 36, σ = 6, conduct a one-sample z test at a 0.05 level of significance. for a one-tailed test, upper-tail critical, what is the decision?
a. to reject the null hypothesis
b. to retain the null hypothesis
c. there is not enough information since the sample size is not given.

b) We accept H₀

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume Normal Distribution

Population mean   μ₀   =  6

Sample size   =  n        n  = 36           n  >  30

Sample mean  =  7.6

Sample standard deviation  s  = 6

1.- Hypothesis test:

We are ask for a one-tail test upper-tail critical then

H₀          null hipothesis          μ₀   =  6

Hₐ  Alternative hypothesis    μ₀   >  6  

2.-    

Level of significance   α =  0.05   from z table we find  value of  z(c)

z(c)  =  1.64

3.-Compute  z(s)

z(s)  =  (  μ  -   μ₀ ) / s/√n      ⇒  z(s)  =  ( 7.6  - 6 ) / 6/√36

z(s)  =  1.6

4.-Compare

z(s)   and  z(c)

z(s)  = 1.6       and  z(c)   = 1.64  then

z(s)  <  z(c)

z(s)  is inside the acceptance region. We accept H₀

yes. we do proportions in probabilities.

false

step-by-step explanation:

false.   two legs of the trapezoid would be congruent, but the other two would not.   were all the legs congruent, then we'd have a square; were the 2 shorter sides congruent and the 2 longer sides also congruent, we'd have a rectangle.
