Researchers studying infant head circumferences (in centimeters) wish to test if the mean head circumference differs from the historical mean of 34.5 cm. The researchers obtain a sample of 17 infants with a mean head circumference of 34.16 cm and a standard deviation of 0.58 cm.
At the α = 0.05 significance level, test the claim
HO: µ = 34.5
HA: µ ≠ 34.5
c) State the rule of rejection (in terms of p-value and level of significance) (5 points)
d) Find the p-value (5 points)
e) Should you reject or not reject HO? (5 points)
f) Does the result suggest that the mean head circumference differs from 34.5 cm? (5 points)
