Question:
Use the traditional method of hypothesis testing unless otherwise specified. Assume all variables are normally distributed.
Find the P-value for the z test in Exercise 15.
Data from in Exercise 15
A sociologist wishes to see if it is true that for a certain group of professional women, the average age at which they have their first child is 28.6 years. A random sample of 36 women is selected, and their ages at the birth of their first child are recorded. At α = 0.05, does the evidence refute the sociologist’s assertion? Assume σ = 4.18.
For the following exercises where applicable:
a. State the hypotheses and identify the claim.
b. Find the critical value(s).
c. Compute the test value.
d. Make the decision.
e. Summarize the results.
