Claim: The standard deviation of pulse rates of adult males is less than 10 bpm. For a random sample of 125 adult males, the pulse rates have a standard deviation of 9.5 bpm. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. a. Express the original claim in symbolic form. b. Find the value of the test statistic.

a.

b.

Step-by-step explanation:

To express the original claim in symbolic form, we need to write the null and alternative hypothesis as:

Where is the standard deviation of the population and we want to know if the standard deviation of pulse rates of adult males is less than 10 bpm.

Then, the value of the test statistic with (n-1) degrees of freedom can be calculated as:

Where n is the size of the sample and s is the standard deviation of the sample. So, replacing values, we get:

no because after the troops were pulled many blacks were killed by hangings lynchings and other cruel ways which in a way interrupted the reconstruction of the south and differed from the way abraham lincoln had an idea of reconstruction
