A recent survey of 8,000 high school students found that the mean price of a prom dress was $195.00 with a standard deviation of $12.00. Alyssa thinks that her school is more fashion conscious and spent more than $195.00. She collected data from 20 people in her high school and found that the average price spent on a prom dress was $208.00. Which of the following is the correct z-statistic for this situation?

Respuesta :

To calculate the z-statistic, we must first calculate the standard error.

Standard error is standard deviation divided by the square root of the population. In this case, it is equal to 2.68.

The z-score is defined the distance from the sample to the population mean in units of standard error.

z = (195 – 208)/2.68 = -4.86
