If ​P-value ≥ α​, there is insufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis at the given level of significance.

To test H0: μ=103 versus H1: μ≠103 a simple random sample of size n=35 is obtained. ​(a) Does the population have to be normally distributed to test this​ hypothesis? Why? (b) If x = 100.0 and s = 5.7​, compute the test statistic. ​(c) Draw a​ t-distribution with the area that represents the​ P-value shaded. (d) Approximate the​ P-value. (e) Interpret the P-value (f) ​If the researcher decides to test this hypothesis at the α=0.01 level of​ significance, will the researcher reject the null​ hypothesis?

(a) ​No, because n ≥ 30 note: Since n=35≥30 and the sample is obtained using simple random​ sampling, the population does not have to be normally distributed to test this hypothesis. (b) -3.11 t0 = (x − μ0) / (s/√n) --> (100 - 103) / (5.7/√35) = -3.11 (c) Description: the left and right edges are shaded, not the middle note: because it is a = vs ≠ it is two tailed which has the two outer parts shaded (d) 0.002<​P-value<0.005 ​P-value=​P(t0<−3.11) + P(t0>3.11​) which is ​2P(t0>3.17​) so since 3.11 is between .0025 and .001 with 34 df, you double that and get .005 and .002 (bc two-tailed) (e) If 1000 random samples of size n=35 are​ obtained, about 4 samples are expected to result in a mean as extreme or more extreme than the one observed if μ=103. (f) yes note: Reject the null hypothesis only if the​ P-value is less than α. We found that the p-value is between .002 and .005 and, therefore, less than a
