问题如下:
Claire believes that the mean price of the commercial residential building is greater than $155,000. The population standard deviation is $25,000. A random sample of 36 commercial residential buildings in the area has a mean price of $159,750. Claire conduct the hypothesis test at a 1% level of significance. The value of the calculated test statistic is closet to:
选项:
A.1.14.
B.0.19.
C.1.33.
解释:
A is correct. This is a one-tailed hypothesis since the alternative hypothesis only allows values greater than the hypothesized value. z=159750-155000/(25000/6)=1.14
我用上方公式算对了这题。但我不明白分子为什么不可以是the hypothesized value减去X̄?
如果是要衡量the hypothesized value在分布上离均值X̄多远,既然分布是左右对称,【the hypothesized value减去X̄再除以标准误】和【X̄减去the hypothesized value再除以标准误】,算出来的数值只是相差了一个正负号。我该怎么理解公式的分子【X̄减去the hypothesized value】的意思?
