A group of students estimated the length of one minute without reference to a watch or​ clock, and the times​ (seconds) are listed below. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that these times are from a population with a mean equal to 60 seconds. Does it appear that students are reasonably good at estimating one​ minute? 70 79 38 63 44 23 62 61 67 50 61 70 94 87 65

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a group of students estimated the length of one minute without reference to a watch or​ clock, and the times​ (seconds) are listed below.

Data set is as ollows:

70 79 38 63 44 23 62 61 67 50 61 70 94 87 65

[tex]Mean = 62.27Variance =333.35std dev = 18.258std error = 4.714[/tex]

H0: mu = 60 sec

Ha: mu not equals 60 sec

Mean diff = 2.27

[tex]Mean = 62.27Variance =333.35std dev = 18.258std error = 4.714[/tex]

Test statistic = 2.27/SE =0.4815

p value =0.6376

Since p>0.05, we accept null hypothesis

i.e. there is statistical evidence to say that students are reasonably good at estimating one​ minute

Answer:

By the statistical solution below,It appears that students are reasonably good at estimating one minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information

A group of student estimated the length of one minute

Sample data [tex](X)[/tex] = 70,79,38,63,44,23,62,61,67,50,61,70,94,87,65

Sample size [tex](n)[/tex] = 15

Now, Mean ([tex]X'[/tex]) = [tex](\sum X)/n[/tex]

[tex]X'=934/15\\X'=62.27[/tex]

Now calculate Variance [tex](v)[/tex] = [tex]v =\frac{\sum(X_i-X')^2}{n-1}[/tex]

on putting the value in above equation and solving

We get,

[tex]v=333.35[/tex]

Now we know that standard deviation [tex]\sigma=\sqrt{v}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma=\sqrt333.35\\\sigma=18.25\\[/tex]

Mean difference:

[tex]= 62.27-60.00\\=2.27\\[/tex]

Test statistics :

[tex]t=2.27/(\sqrt18.25)\\t= 0.4815\\[/tex]

For the test statistics the [tex]p[/tex] value is 0.6376

Since [tex]p>0.05[/tex] , We accept null hypothesis

That means , It appears  that students are reasonably good at estimating one minute.
