Consider the following hypothesis test:

H0:μ≤25H_0: \mu \leq 25

Ha:μ>25H_a: \mu > 25

A sample of 25 provided a sample mean of 27.80. The population standard deviation is 5, then the value of the test statistic is

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

The population standard deviation is known, so use z=xˉ−μσ/nz = \frac{\bar{x}-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n}}.

z=27.80−255/25=2.81=2.8z = \frac{27.80-25}{5/\sqrt{25}} = \frac{2.8}{1} = 2.8.
