Re: statistics

Hi cassrl;

What have you done with this problem? What is the null hypthesis and the alternative one? Do you know how to start the problem? How to get z here? Is it a two tailed test or a one tailed? Can I see a little of your work?


In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
Probability is the most important concept in modern science, especially as nobody has the slightest notion what it means.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.
