From generation to generation, the mean age when smokers first start to smoke varies. However, the standard deviation of that age remains constant of around 2.1 years. A survey of 40 smokers of this generation was done to see if the mean starting age is at least 19. The sample mean was 18.1 with a sample standard deviation of 1.3. Do the data support the claim at the 5% level? = 19 <19 a. Ho: b. Ha: c. In words, CLEARLY state what your random variable X d. State the distribution to use for the test. e. What is the test statistic? SD 2.1 f. The p-value=0.3865 In one or two complete sentences, explain what the p-value means for this problem. g. Use the previous information to sketch a picture of this situation. CLEARLY, label and scale the horizontal axis and shade the region(s) corresponding to the p-value. n h. Indicate the correct decision ("reject" or "do not reject" the null hypothesis), the reason for it, and write an appropriate conclusion, using complete sentences. i. Alpha: ii. Decision: iii. Reason for decision: iv. Conclusion: i. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the true mean or proportion. Include a sketch of the graph of the situation. Label the point estimate and the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval.
