Project -
The goal of this project is to go out into the real world and test a claim by performing a hypothesis test. Therefore, for a complete test, you must do the following:
1. Determine the population you are going to analyze. State the type of hypothesis test you plan to use.
2. Choose a sufficiently large sample size (in the event your population is not normally distributed).
3. Take your RANDOM sample and determine its mean and standard deviation. Be sure to describe how your sample is random.
4. State the claim and determine the null and alternate hypotheses by first choosing whether you are trying to prove or disprove the claim.
5. Specify a reasonable level of significance, such as α = 0.05, as well as determine the degrees of freedom (which you will need since the population standard deviation is unknown).
6. Determine your critical values (either by an appropriate table or with technology) and your rejection regions.
7. Find the standardized test statistic.
8. Determine the associated p-value.
9. Decide to either reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis by using both the rejection regions and the p-value.
10. Interpret your decision in the context of the original claim.
