Question:

A sample of size n = 100 is used to test H0: μ = 20 versus H1: μ > 20.

The value of μ will not have practical significance unless μ > 25.

The population standard deviation is σ = 10.

The value of x̄ is 21.

a. Assume the sample size is n = 100.

Compute the P-value. Show that you do not reject H0 at the α = 0.05 level.

b. Assume the sample size is n = 1000. Compute the P-value.

Show that you reject H0 at the α = 0.05 level.

c. Do you think the difference is likely to be of practical significance? Explain.

d. Explain why a larger sample can be more likely to produce a statistically significant result that is not practically significant.
