    Question Hypothesis testing of means sigma known



    Hello to all

    Can someone please check to see if I have the correct answer? Thanks

    Various temperature measurements are recorded at different times for a particular city. The mean of 25C is obtained for 60 temperatures on 60 different days. Assuming that pop st/deviation is 1.5C, test the claim that the population mean is 23C. Use a 0.05 significance level.

    I am using TI 84

    Z.Test/Stats
    Mu:23
    St/Dev: 1.5
    -X: 25
    n:60
    Tot:=/ Mu
    Reject Ho if
    P < 0.05
    5.38< 0.05
    Yes

    1)Ho:Mu=23
    2)Ha:Mu=/ 23
    3)P: 5.38....
    4)obs:10.3
    5)Reject ho
    6)Sample evidence support claim that the population mean is 23C

    Zobs = X - u / pop.std
    = 25 - 23 / 1.5
    = 1.33

    With alpha = 0.05, the two-tail Z critical = +/- 1.96

    Zobs (+1.33) < Zcritical (+1.96); Fail to Reject your Null Hypothesis.
