In a children's story, a young girl finds that one bowl of soup is too hot, another is too cold, and a third bowl is just right. Further study reveals that the temperature of the soup bowl that the young girl declared to be just right was
100°F. A researcher would like to test the hypotheses How=100 versus Hou* 100 where ji = the true mean
temperature of all bowls of soup. A 95% confidence interval based on a random sample of 30 bowls of soup is
(100.9, 102.3). Using this interval, can the researcher reject the null hypothesis?
Yes, the null hypothesis can be rejected at the significance level a = 0.05, because 100 is not contained in the and
95% confidence interval.
Yes, the null hypothesis can be rejected at the significance level a = 0.01, because 100 is not contained in the
95% confidence interval.
No, the null hypothesis cannot be rejected at the significance level a = 0.05, because 100 is not contained in the
95% confidence interval.
No, the null hypothesis cannot be rejected at the significance level a = 0.01, because 100 is not contained in the
95% confidence interval
