9. Hypothesis Testing for One Sample

Test the claim about the population mean $\mu$ at the given level of significance. Assume the population is normally distributed. Find the $P$-value and determine whether you should reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis.

Claim: $\mu \ne 1020$, $\alpha =0.01$, $\sigma =85$

Sample: $\bar{x}=990$, $n=40$

Test the claim about the population mean $\mu$ at the given level of significance. Assume the population is normally distributed. Find the $P$-value and determine whether you should reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis.

Claim: $\mu >52$, $\alpha =0.10$

Sample: $\bar{x}=53.1$, $s=4.7,$ $n=20$
