So i've recently started brushing up on some areas of maths i'm not farmiliar with and have come across hypotheses testing. Up to this point a friend was helping me out but she's now away until the new year so here i am.
Here's the first of three questions she left me with:
dont know why i just cant seem to get on with this topic, if anyone can point me to a good write up/video covering this i'd really appreaciate it.
So far i think my data is:
n = 25
µ = 8.2
x̅ = 9.75
σ = 3.8
first part: (cringe)
Ho : σ = 3.8 Ha : σ < 3.8
Also is H1 the same as Ha for the alternate? seen both used in different places.
thanks in advance for any help or guidance.
Jimmy.
Here's the first of three questions she left me with:
1. A hypothesis test is to be performed to determine whether the mean waiting time during peak hours for bus customers has increased, due to congestion and/or some other factor, from the previous mean waiting time of 8.2 minutes. Previous experience indicates that the waiting time follows a normal distribution with a standard deviation of 3.8 minutes. To test the hypothesis, a random sample of 25 customers will be selected. This sample of 25 customers yields a mean of 9.75 minutes
