Question: A physician claims that joggers' maximal volume oxygen uptake is greater than the average of all adults. A sample of 15 joggers has a mean of 43.6 milliliters per kilogram (ml/kg) and a standard deviation of 6 ml/kg. If the average of all adults is 36.7 ml/kg, is there enough evidence to support the physician's claim at α = 0.05?" (Bluman, 1998, p. 381).
First, identify the alternative and the null hypotheses.
Secondly, calculate the critical value and df.
- Explain which number is the null and which is the alternative.
- To get the DF the formula is N-1 and how do you get the critical value, which is located in the back of the book.
- \[t =\frac{\bar{X}-\mu }{s / \sqrt{n}}\]
- Explain whether the null hypothesis needs to be rejected or accepted
