Question: Let (Y_{1}, ldots, Y_{n}) be i.i.d. draws from a distribution with mean (mu). A test of (H_{0}: mu=5) vs. (H_{1}: mu eq 5) using the

Let \(Y_{1}, \ldots, Y_{n}\) be i.i.d. draws from a distribution with mean \(\mu\). A test of \(H_{0}: \mu=5\) vs. \(H_{1}: \mu eq 5\) using the usual \(t\)-statistic yields a \(p\)-value of 0.03.

a. Does the \(95 \%\) confidence interval contain \(\mu=5\) ? Explain.

b. Can you determine if \(\mu=6\) is contained in the \(95 \%\) confidence interval? Explain.
