The national mean annual salary for a school administrator is $90,000 a year (The Cincinnati Enquirer, April 7, 2012). A school official took a sample of 25 school administrators in the state of Ohio to learn about salaries in that state and to see if they differed from the national average. Required:
a. Formulate hypotheses that can be used to determine whether the population mean annual administrator salary in Ohio differs from the national mean of $90,000.
b. The sample data for 25 Ohio administrators is contained below. What is the p-value for your hypothesis test in part A?
c. At alpha = 0.05, can your null hypothesis be rejected? What is your conclusion?
d. Repeat the preceding hypothesis test using the critical value approach?

Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information provided:

(a)

A hypothesis test is to performed to determine whether the population mean annual administrator salary in Ohio differs from the national mean of $90,000.

The hypothesis is:

H₀: The population mean annual administrator salary in Ohio is same as the national mean of $90,000, i.e. μ = 90000.

Hₐ: The population mean annual administrator salary in Ohio is different from the national mean of $90,000, i.e. μ ≠ 90000.

(b)

As the population standard deviation is not provided, a t-test will be used.

The test statistic value is:

Compute the p-value of the test as follows:

*Use a t-table.

Thus, the p-value of the test is 0.044.

(c)

The significance level of the test is, α = 0.05.

Decision rule:

Reject the null hypothesis if the p-value is less than the significance level.

p-value = 0.044 < α = 0.05.

The null hypothesis will be rejected at 5% level of significance.

Conclusion:

There is enough evidence to support the claim that the population mean annual administrator salary in Ohio differ from the national mean of $90,000.

(d)

The critical value of t is:

The rejection region  can be defined as follows:

The test statistic value is, t = -2.14.

The test statistic value lies in the rejection region.

Thus, the null hypothesis will be rejected concluding that the population mean annual administrator salary in Ohio differ from the national mean of $90,000.

54 kilometers per hour

step-by-step explanation:

according to rules:

1 km = 1000 meter

which means that 1 meter = 1/1000 km

1 hour = 3600 second [ as 1 hour = 60 min = 60 *60 seconds ]

which means that 1 second = 1/3600 hour

therefore, 1 kilometer/hour =

thus to convert 15 meter per second to kilometer per hour, we multiply 15 to 3.6 kilometer/hour.

15 meter/second=   which is the required answer.
