A computer professor is interested in studying the amount of time it would take students enrolled in the Introduction to Computers course to write and run a program in Matlab. The professor hires you to analyze the following results in minutes from a random sample of 9 students:

10 12 8 16 12 13 10 11 15

Required:
At the 0.05 level of significance, is there evidence that the population average time is greater than 10 minutes?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Following are the solution to the given question:

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, firstly we calculating the [tex]\bar{x} \ \ and \ \ s[/tex]

[tex]\bar{x}=11.89 \\\\s = 2.52\\\\n = 9\\\\\alpha=0.05\\[/tex]

[tex]H_0 : u \leq 10\\\\ H_1 : u > 10[/tex]

It is an upper test  and testing the statistics:

[tex]t=\frac{\bar{x}-\mu }{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}\\\\t=\frac{11.89-10 }{\frac{2.52}{\sqrt{9}}}\\\\t=2.25\\\\[/tex]

So, the test statistics [tex]t=2.25[/tex]

[tex]\alpha=0.05 \\\\ d.f = n-1\\\\[/tex]

     [tex]=9-1\\\\=8[/tex]

critical value =2.306 ( using t-table ) [tex]critical\ value >\ test\ statistics , \ Fail\ to\ Reject\ H_0[/tex]

Decision: We should not reject the null hypothesis.
