A random sample of size 16 has 53 as mean. The sum of the squares of the deviations taken from mean is 150 . If the population mean is 56 then the value of \(t\)-test statistic is :

  1. A \(-3.79\)
  2. B \(-5.79\)
  3. C \(-4.79\)
  4. D \(-2.79\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(-3.79\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(s^2 = \frac{\sum (x_i - \bar{x})^2}{n - 1} = \frac{150}{16 - 1} = \frac{150}{15} = 10\) \(s = \sqrt{10} \approx 3.162\) \(t = \frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{s / \sqrt{n}} = \frac{53 - 56}{3.162 / \sqrt{16}} = \frac{-3}{3.162 / 4} = \frac{-3}{0.7905} \approx -3.795\)
