A statistics practitioner formulated the following hypothesis:

Ho: population mean=200
H1: population mean<200

sample mean=190
n=9
population standard deviation=50

Calculate the p-value of the test

1 answer

Use the z-test formula to find the test statistic since you know the population standard deviation:
z = (sample mean - population mean)/(standard deviation divided by the square root of the sample size)

With the data given in the problem:
z = (190 - 200)/(50/√9)

Finish the calculation and determine the p-value using a z-table. The p-value is the actual level of the test statistic.

I hope this will help get you started.
