Assumptions: pg. 378
Use Student - t
1) n
< 30
2) Don't
know
must use s
3) The
parent population is essentially normal
Use Table A-3
Degree of
Freedom n - 1
p -
value - must use intervals as
t -tables are incomplete
(or use calculator for p-value)
Careful!! Homework mixes t 's
and z 's

Find Critical t - values
for hypothesis, sample sizes and
levels
#2
#8 TS: t = -1.320;
CV: t = -2.718
#14 Reject, 2-tailed
#20 ** n > 30;
so z -test
#24 Using Raw data
