Answer:
The value of the test statistic is 0.4.
Step-by-step explanation:
The value of the test statistic is given by:
Our test statistic is:
[tex]t = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]
In which X is the sample mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is expected mean, [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.
Using traditional methods, it takes 8.1 hours to receive a basic flying license.
This means that [tex]\mu = 8.1[/tex]
A researcher used the technique with 23 students and observed that they had a mean of 8.2 hours with a standard deviation of 1.2.
This means that [tex]n = 23, X = 8.2, \sigma = 1.2[/tex]
Find the value of the test statistic.
[tex]t = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]
[tex]t = \frac{8.2 - 8.1}{\frac{1.2}{\sqrt{23}}}[/tex]
[tex]t = 0.4[/tex]
The value of the test statistic is 0.4.
