Solve for the following problem:

1. A principal at a certain school claims that the students in his school are above average intelligence. A random sample o
of 112.5. Is there sufficient evidence to support the principal’s claim? The mean population IQ is 100 with
H0: µ=100 Decision: ? = 112.5-100/(15/√30)=12.5/2.739=

H1: µ>100 Critical value: ? = NORM.S.INV(.05/2)= -1.95996398454

α=.05 p-value: ? p-value = NORM.S.DIST(4.56,true)= 0.999997442319

Two-tailed—z-test Fail to reject because the p-value which is 1 is not less than 0.0

2. Jane has just begun her new job as on the sales force of a very competitive company. In a sample of 16 sales calls it was
average value of 108 dollars with a standard deviation of 12 dollars. Test at 5% significance that the population mean is a
that it is less than 100 dollars.
H0: µ≤100 Decision:? = 108−100/(12/√16)=8/3= 2.67

H1: µ>100 Critical value? tα=T.INV(0.95,15)= 1.75305035569257 or 1.753

p-value:? p-value= T.DIST(2.67,15,true)= 0.991260903182

One-tailed—t-test Fail to reject because the p-value which is 0.9913 is not less th
