Step-by-Step Analysis
To start, we identify the key values provided: n = 80, σ = 9, and x̄ = 47.1, with the null hypothesis μ ≤ 45 and alternative μ > 45. The test statistic for a z-test with known population standard deviation is computed as z = (x̄ − μ0) / (σ / √n).

Option A: 3.151
If z were 3.151, that would imply......Login to view full explanationLog in for full answers

A 10-year-old survey found that the average net income for self-employed accountants was $74,914. A researcher wants to determine whether this figure has changed( can be changed in both direction ) and takes a random sample of 112 self-employed accountants, producing a sample mean of $78,695. Assume the population standard deviation of net incomes for self-employed accountants is $14,530. Is there any evidence to suggest that the average net income has changed at a 5% level of significance? Determine the statistical test
A small machine shop makes a part for Harley Davidson Motorcycles that needs to be 18.0 mm in diameter. The team that produces the part does a daily quality control check by randomly selecting n = 12 parts (using a systematic random sampling method). One day of operation the SRS produced a sample mean diameter of 17.96. Historically the machinery making the part has a population standard deviation of 0.09mm. We are investigating to see of the sample mean is significant at the 5% level. What is the test statistic for this test of statistical significance?
Imagine that a researcher appropriately collects data from 83 people from a particular population for variable X. They obtain a mean of 40.3 from these 83 people. He also knows that the population mean for variable X is 49 (μ = 49) with a standard deviation of 7.3 (σ = 7.3). Using this information, compute the z statistic. Please report the correct z statistic below with two decimal places (if relevant).
