Consider the following hypothesis test

H0:μ≤3530H_0: \mu\le3530

Ha:μ>3530H_a: \mu>3530

A sample of 100 provided a sample mean of xˉ=3740\bar x=3740 and population standard derivation S=700S=700. What is the value of t-statistic ?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

The test statistic is xˉ−μ0s/n=3740−3530700/100=21070=3\frac{\bar x-\mu_0}{s/\sqrt n}=\frac{3740-3530}{700/\sqrt{100}}=\frac{210}{70}=3.

Note: The question asks for a t-statistic while supplying a population standard deviation, which corresponds to a z-statistic; we have used the same formula, and the value is 33 either way.
