Hypothesis Testing Rejection and
P-Values
Consider the hypothesis test given
by
H0: u =530
H1: u does not = 530
In a random sample of 85 subjects,
the sample mean is found to be 522.3. Also, the population standard deviation
is 29.
Determine the p-value for this test.
Is there sufficient evidence to justify the rejection of H0 at the
“alpha” level of 0.01? Please explain your answer.
