Question

Past experience indicates that the time re- quired for high school seniors to complete a standard- ized test is a normal random variable with a standard deviation of 6 minutes. test the hypothesis that σ = 6 against the alternative that σ < 6 if a random sample of the test times of 20 high school seniors has a standard deviation s = 4.51. use a 0.05 level of significance.

Answer 1

with a standard deviation of 6 minutes, we will test the hypothesis that σ = 6 against the alternative that σ < 6 if a random sample of the test times of 20 high school seniors has a standard deviation s = 4.51. use a 0.05 level of significance.
