Consider the following hypothesis test: H0 : µ ≥ 20 HA : µ < 20 A sample of 40 provided a sample mean of 19.4. The population standard deviation is 2. (a) Create a 95% confidence interval for the mean. We know σ, therefore we should use the z − table. This is a one-tailed (lower tail) test, so the 95% confidence interval will be given then by σ x − z.05 √ , ∞
