Question

Use technology to find the P-value for the hypothesis test described below.

The claim is that for 12 AM body temperatures, the mean is μ> 98.6°F. The sample size is n=8 and the test statistic is
t = 1.692



P-value=

(Round to three decimal places as needed.)

Answer 1

Approximately, 0.067.

Explanation:

Now we have to find the p-function.

The excel function:

TDIST (1.021, 32, 1) = 0.1575

Context:

• 1.021 is the test statistic
• 32 is the degrees of freedom
• 1 stands for one tailed alternative hypothesis

Given from the calculations, it can be said that the P-value is equal to approximately 0.067.
