General Instructions:
When you perform a test of hypothesis, you must always use the 4-step approach: i. S1:the “Null” and “Alternate” hypotheses, ii. S2: calculate value of the test statistic, iii. S3: the level of significance and the critical value of the statistic, iv. S4: your decision rule and the conclusion reached in not rejecting or rejecting the null hypothesis. When asked to calculate p–value, S5, relate the p-value to the level of significance in reaching your conclusion.
If you use MiniTab to perform the hypothesis test, you must cut and paste the relevant output into your assignment. This output simply verifies and occasionally replaces the manual computation of the test statistic, p-value or the confidence interval. You must supply all the required steps, mentioned above, to make your testing procedure standard and complete.
If Confidence Coefficient (CC) and Level of Significance (LS) are not specified, assume the default values to be 95% and 5% respectively. Use precision level of only 4 Decimal Digits (DD) when calculations are done with a calculator.
