8) The P-value is greater than any acceptable significance level α. Therefore, we do not reject the null hypothesis. There is insufficient evidence to support the claim that the standard deviation is less than 20 microamps.

8) The P-value is less than 0.05, therefore we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the standard deviation is significantly less than 20 microamps. c) Increasing the sample size increases the test statistic χ0
2 and therefore decreases the P-value, providing more evidence against the null hypothesis. Mind Expanding Exercises 9-126 The parameter of interest is the true,μ. H0 : μ = μ0 H1 μ ≠ μ0
