Question

Q is known to be normally distributed with a mean of 100 and standard deviation of 15.  A small school of 49 students has a mean IQ of 94.  What is the approximate value of the test statistic associated with this sample mean and what conclusion should be drawn in relation to the overall population?

 

   

z = -2.80; reject H0 and conclude that this sample is significantly lower in IQ than the general population

 

   

z = -0.40; retain H0 and conclude that the IQ for this sample is not significantly different from the general IQ population

 

   

μ = +2.80; reject H0 and conclude that this sample is significantly higher in IQ than the general population

 

   

t = +0.40; retain H0 and conclude that the IQ for this sample is not significantly different from the general IQ population
