Asimple random sample of 58 adults is obtained from a normally distributed population, and each person's red blood cell count (in cells per microliter) is measured. the sample mean is 5.25 and the sample standard deviation is 0.52. use a 0.01 significance level and the given calculator display to test the claim that the sample is from a population with a mean less than 5.4, which is a value often used for the upper limit of the range of normal values. what do the results suggest about the sample group?

Given : Sample mean = x = 5.25

            Standard deviation = 0.52

To Find : Use a 0.01 significance level and the given calculator display to test the claim that the sample is from a population with a mean less than 5.4

Solution:

Sample size = n = 58

Hypothesis :

Test statistic:

x = 5.25

μ = 5.4  

s = 0.52

n = 58

Substitute the values :

Refer the p value using z table

P-value = P(z ≤ -2.196) = 0.0143

As P-value > 0.01,

So, we accept the null hypothesis

Conclusion: There is significant statistical evidence to conclude that the claim that the sample is from a population with a mean less than 5.4 is False at alpha = 0.01, the level of significance.
