Answer:

Option 3rd is correct

1.98

Explanation:

Using the formula:


z = (X-\mu)/((\sigma)/(√(n)))

where,

X is the sample mean,
\mu is the mean,
\sigma is the standard deviation and n is the sample size.

As per the statement:

Dion is performing a hypothesis test in which the population mean is 92 and the standard deviation is 2. His sample size is 7 with a mean of 93.5

⇒X = 93.5, n = 2 ,
\mu = 92 and
\sigma = 2

Substitute these given values to calculate z;


z = (93.5-92)/((2)/(√(7))) = (1.5)/(0.755928946) = 1.98431348

Therefore, the z-statistic for the given data is, 1.98
