Asurvey of 100 similar-sized hospitals revealed a mean daily census in the pediatrics service of 27 with a standard deviation of 6.5. researchers test whether these data provide sufficient evidence to indicate the mean is greater than 25. use α=.05. give 1. the hypotheses, 2. appropriate test, 3. decision rule, 4. calculated test statistic, and 5. conclusion with a comparison to the critical value or alpha.

We conclude that the mean is greater than 25.  

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Population mean, μ = 25

Sample mean, = 27

Sample size, n = 100

Alpha, α = 0.05

Sample standard deviation, s = 6.5

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis

We use One-tailed(right) z test to perform this hypothesis.

Formula:

Putting all the values, we have

Now,

Since,  

We reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternate hypothesis.

Thus,  the mean is greater than 25.
