Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Hypotheses
  • Null Hypothesis (H0): μ = 100
  • Alternative Hypothesis (H1): μ ≠ 100
Step 2: Determine the Distribution and Critical Regions
  • The sample size (n) is 24.
  • The population is normally distributed.
  • Use the t-distribution to determine the critical regions for a two-tailed test.
Step 3: Draw the t-Distribution and Identify Critical Regions
  • The critical regions are the areas in the tails of the t-distribution where the null hypothesis would be rejected.
  • For a two-tailed test with a 5% significance level, each tail will have 2.5% of the distribution.
  • The correct graph is the one that shows the critical regions in both tails of the distribution.

Final Answer

  • The correct graph is the one that shows the critical regions in both tails of the t-distribution.
  • The researcher will reject the null hypothesis if the test statistic falls in either of the critical regions.
  • Construct a 99% confidence interval using the t-distribution with n-1 degrees of freedom.
