Assume
population mean(u)=7, because not given in the data
given data,
sample mean, x =7.375
standard deviation, s =0.4787
number (n)=4
null, Ho: μ=7
alternate, H1: μ!=7
level of significance, α = 0.01
from standard normal table, two tailed t α/2 =5.841
since our test is two-tailed
reject Ho, if to < -5.841 OR if to > 5.841
we use test statistic (t) = x-u/(s.d/sqrt(n))
to =7.375-7/(0.4787/sqrt(4))
to =1.567
| to | =1.567
critical value
the value of |t α| with n-1 = 3 d.f is 5.841
we got |to| =1.567 & | t α | =5.841
make decision
hence value of |to | < | t α | and here we do not reject
Ho
p-value :two tailed ( double the one tail ) - Ha : ( p != 1.5667 )
= 0.2152
hence value of p0.01 < 0.2152,here we do not reject Ho
ANSWERS
---------------
null, Ho: μ=7
alternate, H1: μ!=7
test statistic: 1.567
critical value: -5.841 , 5.841
decision: do not reject Ho
p-value: 0.2152
we do not have enough evidence to support the claim that difference
in the mean mile time for the different groups from 7.

Suppose that, as a researcher, you're interested in the possible interplay between race and face recognition. You choose 80 participants, 16 of whom are of African descent, 16 of whom are of Western European descent, 16 of whom are of East Asian descent, 16 of whom are of Pacific Islander descent, and 16 of whom are of Middle Eastern descent. You let each participant examine a collection of 35 photographs of faces of college students who are African-American. You then...
I have submitted this question before and received an incorrect answer. Please help! Triathlon times. In triathlons, it is common for racers to be placed into age and gender groups. Friends Leo and Mary both completed the Hermosa Beach Triathlon, where Leo competed in the Men, Ages 30 - 34 group while Mary competed in the Women, Ages 25 - 29 group. Leo completed the race in 4781 seconds, while Mary completed the race in 5591 seconds. Obviously Leo finished...

You are a marketing expert for a company that is producing a new kind of energy bar. You want to provide evidence that consuming the new type of bar 1 hour before engaging in strenuous exercise of long duration such as running a marathon-will have an effect on performance.

Do students reduce study time in classes where they achieve a higher midterm score? In a Journal of Economic Education article (Winter 2005), Gregory Krohn and Catherine O'Connor studied student effort and performance in a class over a semester. In an intermediate macroeconomics course, they found that "students respond to higher midterm scores by reducing the number of hours they subsequently allocate to studying for the course." Suppose that a random sample of n = 8 students who performed well...
DATA 4.1 Does Light at Night Affect Weight Gain? Numerous studies have shown that exposure to light at night is harmful to human health. A recent study? examines the effect of light at night on body mass gain in mice. Eighteen mice were randomly assigned to one of two groups: the Dark group had a normal light/dark cycle with darkness at night and the Light group had a dim light on at night, equivalent to having a television set on...
