stephen stigler determined in 1977 that the speed of light is 299,710.5 km/sec. in 1882, albert michelson is there enough evidence to show that michelson's data is different from stigler's value of the speed of light? test at 5% level

Answer: hi your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question

answer :

  • population parameter( μ ) : mean speed of light measured by Albert Michelson
  • null hypothesis ( H₀ ) : μ = 299,710.5km/s.
  • Alternate hypothesis ( Hₐ ) : μ ≠ 299,710.5 km/sec
  • Random variable : Speed of light measured by Albert Michelson.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the information provided in the question attached I will match each term with its corresponding meaning

  • population parameter( μ ) : mean speed of light measured by Albert Michelson, here the parameter of interest is the speed of light measured/recorded by Albert which is represented as population mean μ
  • null hypothesis ( H₀ ) : μ = 299,710.5km/s. given that the test is to determine if the speed of light recorded by both scientists are the same
  • Alternate hypothesis ( Hₐ ) : μ ≠ 299,710.5 km/sec. given that the test is to determine if the speed of light recorded by both scientists are the same
  • Random variable ( x ) : Speed of light measured by Albert Michelson. her we are trying to bring to conclusion data measured by Albert Michelson
stephen stigler determined in 1977 that the speed of light is 299,710.5 km/sec. in-example-1
