Sociologists want to test whether the number of homeless people in a particular urban area is increasing. In 2010, the average number of homeless people per day who sought shelter was 42.3 (σ = 6.2). Data from the current year reveal that the mean number of people seeking shelter per day is 45.3. What is the correct statistical test?

Answer:

single sample z test

Step-by-step explanation: The correct statistics test is the single sample A test.

A one-sample z-test is used to test whether a population parameter is remarkably different from some hypothesized value. Each makes a statement about how the true population mean μ is related to some hypothesized value M. It is used to test whether the mean of a population is greater than, less than, or not equal to a specific value.
