A metropolitan transportation authority has set a bus mechanical reliability goal of 3,700 bus miles. Bus mechanical reliability is measured specifically as the number of bus miles between mechanical road calls. Suppose a sample of 100 buses resulted in a sample mean of 3,750 bus miles and a sample standard deviation of 275 bus miles. Determine the? p-value and interpret its meaning.

Answer:

This is the two tailed test .

The null and alternative hypothesis is ,

H0 :  \mu =3700

Ha : \mu \neq3700

Test statistic = t

= (\bar x - \mu ) /S / \sqrt n

= (3750-3700) / 275 / \sqrt 100

Test statistic t= 1.82

df=n-1=100-1=99

P(t > 1.82) = 1 - P(t <1.82 ) =1- 0.9641=0.0359*2=0.0718 using t table

p-value=0.0718
