suppose braking distance for the new system is normally distributed with s 5 10. let x denote the sample average braking distance for a random sample of 36 observations. which values of x are more contradictory to h0 than 117.2, what is the p-value in this case, and what conclusion is appropriate if a 5 .10?



Answer :

The x value that more contradictory to h0 than 117.2 is the value less than 117.2 and p-value is 0.0465 and the conclusion is we reject h0.

How to calculate p-value?

μ = mean = 120

x = 117.2

σ = standard deviation = 10

n = random sample = 36

Lets take the z test,

z = [tex]\frac{x-\mu }{\sigma / \sqrt{n}}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{117.2 - 120}{10/\sqrt{36}}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{-2.8}{1.667}[/tex]

= -1.68

From the test, we know test is left tailed and the rejection area is negative. So, the less x than 117.2 the more contradictory to h0.

For p-value use z-score table and we get 0.0465. Because the p-value is less than the appropriate α, which is 0.1, it can be concluded that h0 is rejected.

Thus, the less x value than 117.2 the more contradictory to h0 and we rejected h0 because p-value is lower than appropriate α.
