Using traditional methods, it takes 10.0 hours to receive a basic driving license. A new license training method using Computer Aided Instruction (CAI) has been proposed. A researcher used the technique with 12 students and observed that they had a mean of 10.2 hours with a standard deviation of 1.1. A level of significance of 0.05 will be used to determine if the technique performs differently than the traditional method. Assume the population distribution is approximately normal. Find the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to three decimal places.

The t-statistic is t=0.631.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to perform an hypothesis test on the mean.

The claim is that the new method performs different from the actual method.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

$H_0: \mu=10.0\\\\H_a:\mu\neq10.0$

The significance level is 0.05.

The sample has a size n=12. The sample mean is 10.2 hours and the sample standard deviation is 1.1.

As the population standard deviation is not known, we will estimate it from the sample standard deviation and use a t-statistic.

The degrees of freedom are:

df=n-1=12-1=11

The t-statistic is:

$t=\dfrac{\bar x-\mu}{s/\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{10.2-10.0}{1.1/\sqrt{12}}=\dfrac{0.2}{0.317}= 0.631$

The P-value of this two-tailed test, with t=0.631 and df=11, is

P-value=2P(t0.631)=0.541

The P-value is bigger than the significance level, so the effect is not significant and the null hypothesis failed to be rejected.

Answer from: ctyrector

df=n-1=12-1=11

Since is a two sided test the p value would be:

$p_v =2*P(t_{(11)}0.630)=0.5416$

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

$\bar X=10.2$ represent the sample mean

s=1.1 represent the sample standard deviation

n=12 sample size

represent the value that we want to test

$\alpha=0.05$ represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)

State the null and alternative hypotheses.

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the technique performs differently than the traditional method, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $\mu = 10$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu \neq 10.2$

If we analyze the size for the sample is < 30 and we don't know the population deviation so is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:

$t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}$ (1)

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".

Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:

$t=\frac{10.2-10}{\frac{1.1}{\sqrt{12}}}=0.630$

P-value

The first step is calculate the degrees of freedom, on this case:

df=n-1=12-1=11

Since is a two sided test the p value would be:

$p_v =2*P(t_{(11)}0.630)=0.5416$

Afriend of mine is giving a dinner party. his current wine supply includes 10 bottles of zinfandel, 8 of merlot, and 11 of cabernet (he only drinks red wine), all from different wineries. (a) if he wants to serve 3 bottles of zinfandel and serving order is important, how many ways are there to do this? ways (b) if 6 bottles of wine are to be randomly selected from the 29 for serving, how many ways are there to do this? ways (c) if 6 bottles are randomly selected, how many ways are there to obtain two bottles of each variety? ways (d) if 6 bottles are randomly selected, what is the probability that this results in two bottles of each variety being chosen? (round your answer to three decimal places.) (e) if 6 bottles are randomly selected, what is the probability that all of them are the same variety? (round your answer to three decimal places.)
