A random number generator should produce random numbers that are uniformly distributed on the interval from 0 to 1. If this is true, the numbers generated come from a population with u = 0.5 and = 1/12. Suppose that a command to generate 100 random numbers gives outcomes with mean = 0.42. If the population o remains fixed, suppose that we want to test Ho:=0.5 Ha: + 0.5 a) Is the test statistic statistically significant at the a-0.05 level? b) Is the test statistic statistically significant at the a=0.01 level? c) Calculate the P-value. d) Does the test give good evidence against the null hypothesis? Why or why not?
