Recall

Normal hypothesis tests and errors — objective 1

Maths4U Original · Short practice

Observations are independent and normal with known \(\displaystyle \sigma =4\). For \(\displaystyle n=25\), test \(H_0:\mu=61\) against \(H_1:\mu>61\). The sample mean is \(62.92\).

Use a 5% significance level for a written conclusion. A distribution calculator may be used for numerical p-values.

Find the observed z statistic.

Enter one number or fraction. Use at least six decimal places when needed; a distribution calculator may be used for probabilities.
