Hypothesis Test:

Determine if there is sufficient evidence to conclude the average amount of births is over 5000 in the United States and territories at the 0.05 level of significance.

Step 1: Clearly state a null and alternative hypothesis, identify the claim, and the type of test. (Circle the appropriate symbol or erase the incorrect symbols).

Ho: =

Ha: < >

Circle One: Left Tailed Test Right Tailed Test Two-Tailed Test

Step 2: Determine the Rejection Region

PickONE multiple choice answer below and fill in the critical value. Round Critical Value to two decimal places.

a) Reject Ho if Z ___________

b) Reject Ho if Z ___________

c) Reject Ho if Z is less than ___________ or greater than ___________ .

Step 3: Give the value of the test statistic and the P-Value

Z = _____________ P-Value = ______________

Step 4: Clearly state your conclusion

Circle One: Reject the Null Hypothesis..... OR...... Fail to Reject the Null Hypothesis

Step 5: Explain what your conclusion means in context of the data.

There _______ (IS/IS NOT) sufficient statistical evidence to ________ (SUPPORT/REJECT) the claim that the average amount of births is _________ (GREATER THAN/LESS THAN/EQUAL TO) 5000 in the United States and territories at the 0.05 level of significance.
