A study was conducted to test the hypothesis that the averagebody temperature of a human is 98.6° F. The researcher believesthat the average body temperature differs from the stated value of98.6° F.
(a) State the null and the alternate hypotheses symbolically.Please do not state them in English, looking forsymbols here.
(b) The researcher gets out their thermometer and gathers thebody temperature for 35 healthy subjects. They calculate a samplemean of 98.2° F with a sample standard deviation of 0.98° F. Whatis the test statistic T for this sample?
(c) To make a decision as to which hypothesis to support, theresearcher needs to calculate the p-value for hisobserved statistic. Using Rguroo, calculatethe p-value to 5 decimal places. Show the commandthat you used to make this calculation.
(d) Based on the test statistic T in part (b)and the the p-value in part (c) which hypothesiswould you support? You need to give your response in context of theproblem. This means the response should be about a paragraph inlength.
