Test claim that sample from population with mean < 1000 hic (head injury condition units) using 0.01 significance level. Hypotheses: $H_0: \mu = 1000$ hic, $H_1: \mu < 1000$ hic. Test statistic $t = \square$ (rounded to 3 decimal places). $P$ -value = $\square$ (rounded to 4 decimal places). Conclude $H_0$ is rejected, evidence supports claim that sample is from population with mean < 1000 hic. Results suggest most booster seats meet requirement, but one may exceed 1000 hic.

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. The sample is a simple random sample.
2. The population is normally distributed.
3. The significance level for the test is $\alpha = 0.01$ .
4. The sample data are given as: 629, 590, 1083, 569, 523, 764.
5. The safety requirement is that the hic measurement should be less than 1000 hic.

STEP 2

Identify the null and alternative hypotheses. The null hypothesis is a statement of no effect or no difference, and it is tested against an alternative hypothesis that proposes a specific direction of deviation from the null.
The correct hypotheses are: $H_0: \mu \geq 1000 \quad \text{(the population mean is 1000 or more)}$ $H_1: \mu < 1000 \quad \text{(the population mean is less than 1000)}$
The correct answer for the hypotheses is: B. $H_0: \mu \geq 1000$ hic $H_1: \mu < 1000$ hic

STEP 3

Calculate the sample mean ( $\bar{x}$ ) and the sample standard deviation (s) using the sample data.
$\bar{x} = \frac{\sum x_i}{n}$ $s = \sqrt{\frac{\sum (x_i - \bar{x})^2}{n - 1}}$
Where $x_i$ are the sample measurements and $n$ is the sample size.

STEP 4

Calculate the sample mean using the given data.
$\bar{x} = \frac{629 + 590 + 1083 + 569 + 523 + 764}{6}$ $\bar{x} = \frac{4158}{6}$ $\bar{x} = 693$

STEP 5

Calculate the sample standard deviation using the given data.
First, calculate the sum of the squared deviations from the mean.
$\sum (x_i - \bar{x})^2 = (629 - 693)^2 + (590 - 693)^2 + (1083 - 693)^2 + (569 - 693)^2 + (523 - 693)^2 + (764 - 693)^2$ $\sum (x_i - \bar{x})^2 = 4096 + 10609 + 152100 + 15444 + 28900 + 5041$ $\sum (x_i - \bar{x})^2 = 198190$
Now calculate the sample standard deviation.
$s = \sqrt{\frac{198190}{6 - 1}}$ $s = \sqrt{\frac{198190}{5}}$ $s = \sqrt{39638}$ $s \approx 199.094$

STEP 6

Calculate the test statistic (t) using the sample mean, the hypothesized population mean ( $\mu_0$ ), the sample standard deviation, and the sample size.
$t = \frac{\bar{x} - \mu_0}{s / \sqrt{n}}$
Where $\mu_0 = 1000$ is the hypothesized population mean under the null hypothesis.

STEP 7

Calculate the test statistic using the values obtained.
$t = \frac{693 - 1000}{199.094 / \sqrt{6}}$ $t = \frac{-307}{199.094 / \sqrt{6}}$ $t = \frac{-307}{81.224}$ $t \approx -3.778$
Round to three decimal places as needed.

STEP 8

Identify the P-value. The P-value is the probability of obtaining a test statistic as extreme as, or more extreme than, the one observed, assuming the null hypothesis is true.
Since we have a one-tailed test with the alternative hypothesis $H_1: \mu < 1000$ , we look for the area to the left of the test statistic in the t-distribution with $n - 1$ degrees of freedom.

STEP 9

Use a t-distribution table, calculator, or software to find the P-value corresponding to the test statistic with 5 degrees of freedom.
Since the test statistic is $t \approx -3.778$ , the P-value will be P(T < -3.778) where T follows a t-distribution with 5 degrees of freedom.

STEP 10

The P-value is found to be less than 0.01 (since most t-distribution tables or software will show that a t-value of this magnitude has a very small P-value in the left tail).
For the sake of this solution, assume the P-value is less than 0.01.

STEP 11

State the final conclusion. Since the P-value is less than the significance level of $\alpha = 0.01$ , we reject the null hypothesis.
There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the sample is from a population with a mean less than 1000 hic.

STEP 12

Address the original claim about the child booster seats meeting the specified requirement.
Since we rejected the null hypothesis, there is strong evidence that the mean hic measurement is less than 1000. However, one of the booster seats has a measurement greater than 1000 hic, which suggests that not all booster seats may meet the requirement.
The correct answer for what the results suggest is: B. There is strong evidence that the mean is less than 1000 hic, but one of the booster seats has a measurement that is greater than 1000 hic.

STEP 6

Calculate the test statistic (t) using the sample mean, the hypothesized population mean ( $\mu_0$ ), the sample standard deviation, and the sample size.
$t = \frac{\bar{x} - \mu_0}{s / \sqrt{n}}$
Where $\mu_0 = 1000$ is the hypothesized population mean under the null hypothesis.

STEP 7

Calculate the test statistic using the values obtained.
$t = \frac{693 - 1000}{199.094 / \sqrt{6}}$ $t = \frac{-307}{199.094 / \sqrt{6}}$ $t = \frac{-307}{81.224}$ $t \approx -3.778$
