## Hypothesis Testing with One Sample

Class Time: __________________________
Name: _____________________________________

1. H0: _______
2. Ha: _______
3. In words, CLEARLY state what your random variable $X ¯ X ¯$ or $P ′ P ′$ represents.
4. State the distribution to use for the test.
5. What is the test statistic?
6. What is the p-value? In one or two complete sentences, explain what the p-value means for this problem.
7. Use the previous information to sketch a picture of this situation. CLEARLY, label and scale the horizontal axis and shade the region(s) corresponding to the p-value.
