Experiment 4: Conduct a hypothesis test to test the claim that the time needed for packaging using method 2 is significantly differentfrom 90 seconds.

1. Let =

H_O:

H_a:

1. Calculate the test statistic for the fourth experiment:

• Click on cell J2. Type =average(D2:D9). This calculates the sample mean of the fourth experiment. Record this value rounded to the three places x-bar = __________.

• Click on cell J3. Type=stdev(D2:D9). This calculates the sample standard deviation of the fourth experiment. Record this value rounded to three places s = ________.

• Next, click on cell J4 and enter the formula =J3/SQRT(COUNT(D2:D9)). This value is the standard deviation of the sample means (this is called the standard error of the mean), and can be calculated by hand using formula . Record this value rounded to three places SE = _________.

• Click on the cell J5. Then click Formulas More Functions Statistical Standardize. A menu called Function Argumentsshould appear.
  • X is the value you want to standardize. This is the sample mean. Enter J2.
  • Mean is the mean of the sampling distribution. This is the hypothesized mean from your hypotheses in part a.
  • Standard deviation is the standard deviation of the sample means (standard error). Enter J4.

• Record the Test Statistic from cell J5. t_stat = ___________.

1. Calculate the p-value:

• Click on the cell J7. Then click Formulas More Functions Statistical T.Dist.2T. A menu called Function Argumentsshould appear.
  • Xis the Test Statisticcalculated in part b. Enter this value from cell J5. (Note: If the test statistic is negative, change the sign to a positive when entering the test statistic for X).
  • Deg_freedomis the degrees of freedom. Recall df = n-1.

• Record the p-value from cell J7: p-value = .

1. Use the p-value and a .12 level of significance to determine if you should reject or not reject the null hypothesis. Hint: Reject H_o only if p-value

1. Use the p-value and a .02 level of significance to determine if you should reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis. Interpret in context.
