Question

Identify the value of the TEST STATISTIC used in a hypothesis test of the following claim and sample data:

Claim: "The average battery life (between charges) of this model of tablet is at least 12 hours."
A random sample of 80 of these tablets is selected, and it is found that their average battery life is 11.58 hours with a standard deviation of 1.93 hours. Test the claim at the 0.05 significance level.
a. -0.218
b. -1.645
c. -1.946
d. -1.667

Answer 1

-1.946 ; C

Explanation:

Here, we want to identify the value of the z-statistic

Mathematically;

z = (x -mean)/SD/√n

Thus we have ;

Z = (11.58-12)/1.93/√80

z = -1.946
