use the one-mean t-test to perfrom the required hypothesis tests about the mean,µ, of the
population from which the sample was drawn. Use the P-value approach. Also, assess the
strength of the evidence against the null hypothesis.
Given :
H₀ = µ > 20
H₁ = µ< 20
n = dsmpel size = 5
Left-tailed
The rejection regin of a left tailed test with ɑ = 0.10 containes all t-value below the t-value
-t₀ that has a probability of 0.01 to its left.
P ( T < - t₀ ) = 0.01
Determine the critical value from the student T distribution table in the appendix in the row
with df =n -1 = 5 – 1 = 4 and in the column with ɑ = 0.01 ( which is the negation of the
critical value in the table)
t = -3.747
the rejekction region then contains all. Values smaller than –3.747 and thus we reject Ho
when the t-value is smaller than -3.747.
