Name:

  • a. HoHo size 12{H rSub { size 8{o} } } {}:
  • b. HaHa size 12{H rSub { size 8{a} } } {}:
  • c. In words, CLEARLY state what your random variable X¯X¯ size 12{ {overline {X}} } {} or P'P' size 12{P'} {} represents.
  • d. State the distribution to use for the test.
  • e. What is the test statistic?
  • f. What is the pp size 12{p} {}-value? In 1 – 2 complete sentences, explain what the pp size 12{p} {}-value means for this problem.
