Consider testing H^0: u=20 against H^a: u<20 where u is the mean number of latex gloves used per week by all hospital employees, based on the summary statistics n=46, x=19.1, and s=11.8. Complete parts a and b

a. Compute the p-value of the test.

The p-value of the test is (Round to four decimal places as needed )

b. Compare the p-value with a=0.01 and make the appropriate conclusion. Choose the correct answer below.

a. There is insufficient evidence to reject h^0

b. There is sufficient evidence to reject H^0

Part a: P-value

The first step is calculate the degrees of freedom, on this case:  

Since is a one sided test the p value would be:  

Part b: Conclusion  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given we see that so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to fail reject the null hypothesis, and we can conclude that the true mean is not lower than 20 at 1% of signficance.  

a. There is insufficient evidence to reject h^0

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation  

represent the sample mean

represent the sample standard deviation

sample size  

represent the value that we want to test

represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.  

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)  

State the null and alternative hypotheses.  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean is lower than 20, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:  

Alternative hypothesis:  

If we analyze the size for the sample is > 30 but we don't know the population deviation so is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:  

 (1)  

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".  

Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:  

Part a: P-value

The first step is calculate the degrees of freedom, on this case:  

Since is a one sided test the p value would be:  

Part b: Conclusion  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given we see that so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to fail reject the null hypothesis, and we can conclude that the true mean is not lower than 20 at 1% of signficance.  

a. There is insufficient evidence to reject h^0

x -

median = 1.25

range = 12-14.5

interquartile = q12-q14.5

y -

median = 1

range = 15-17

interquartile = q15-q17

black lol

step-by-step explanation:

h

i can tell you jamal now has 3 cookies xd

tommy has 2.

this made me lol.
