Single Sample Z-Test for Hypothesis Testing: Aggression Data AnalysisExercise 8: Single sample z-testAs preparation for this exercise, you are strongly advised do the Time to Practice exercise 1, 2, 3 and 4 inchapter 10, and check your workagainst the correct answers in the text.Test the hypothesis that the subjects in the data set sample are more or less aggressive before theintervention than a comparison population which has an aggression mean of 5 and a standard deviationof 1.Indicate the following steps:1.State the null and research hypotheses:Null hypothesis: ฮผ = 5Research (Alternative) Hypothesis:ฮผ โ 5 (claim)2.Set the level of significance, or Type 1 error, and explain what it means.Traditionally we take 0.05 as level of significance. The level of significance is the probability of incorrectlyrejecting the null hypothesis in favor of the alternative hypothesis (the claim in this case)3.Select the appropriate test statistic, and explain why it is appropriate. Describe the formula (10.1)for the statistic and what it means.The test statistic is a one sample z-test for a mean :this test is appropriate becausewearetesting if onemean (the sample mean) is different from the hypothesized value (given). The formula used is :๐ง=๐ฅโ๐๐โ๐4.Compute the test statistic to get the โobtained valueโ.By using the Excel data on pre-aggression data we found : x = 5.75, n = 12 and๐=2.60Therefore :๐ง=5.75โ52.60โ12=1.00
