Use a \(\alpha = 0.01\) significance level to test the claim that \(\sigma = 17\) if the sample statistics include \(n = 11,\) \(\overline{x} = 106,\) and \(s = 23.\)
The test statistic is
The smaller critical number is
The bigger critical number is
What is your conclusion?
- There is not sufficient evidence to warrant the rejection of the claim that the population standard deviation is equal to 17
- There is sufficient evidence to warrant the rejection of the claim that the population standard deviation is equal to 17
