Hypothesis Tests for Population Means

Test 1: Sample of 10 — Mean < 550

(a) In a random sample of 10 people who take a test, the average score is 532.4, and the standard deviation is 28.3. Do the data provide significant evidence, at the 5% level, that the population mean score is less than 550?

1. Step 1: Hypotheses.

   H₀: μ = 550 vs. H_a: μ < 550 (1 point) Where μ is the population mean score.

2. Step 2: Significance level.

   α = 0.05 (1 point)

3. Step 3: Test statistic.

   Test Statistic: t_obs = (X̄ − μ₀)/(s/√n) = (X̄ − 550)/(s/√n) (1 point)

4. Step 4: Rejection region.

   The test rejects H₀ at level α in favor of H_a if t_obs < −t_α,df=9, where t is based on 9 degrees of freedom. (1 point)

5. Step 5: Calculation and conclusion.

   Test Statistic:

Covariance

Covariance measures the directional relationship between the returns on two assets. A positive covariance means that asset returns move together, while a negative covariance means they move inversely.

Scatter Diagram

A scatter diagram is used to examine the relationship between both the axes (X and Y) with one variable. In the graph, if the variables are correlated, then the points drop along a curve or line. A scatter diagram or scatter plot gives an idea of the nature of the relationship. These relationships can include:

• Perfect positive correlation
• Perfect negative correlation
• High degree of positive correlation
• High degree of negative correlation
• Low degree of positive correlation
• Low degree of negative correlation
• No correlation
