    Question

    We draw a sample from a normally distributed population N(μ, σ²), with outcomes: 20, 20, 36 and 20. We test H0: μ = 20 against H1: μ ≠ 20 with 5% risk. It is given that σ = 8. How should the conclusion?


    1. FALSE: The test result is significant, reject H0
    2. FALSE: The test result is significant, do not reject H0
    3. FALSE: The test result is not significant, reject H0
    4. TRUE: The test result is not significant, do not reject H0

    1. The test result is significant, reject H0: Incorrect
    2. The test result is significant, do not reject H0: Incorrect
    3. The test result is not significant, reject H0: Incorrect
    4. The test result is not significant, reject H0: Correct
