Part 1 of 5
An incubation period is a time between when you contract a virus and when your symptoms start. Assume that the population of incubation periods for a novel coronavirus has the population standard deviation of 2.5 day(s), also assume that the sample is from a normal population. By surveying randomly selected local hospitals, a researcher was able to obtain the following sample of incubation periods of 23 patients:
6 | 8 | 5 | 11 | 8 |
9 | 8 | 8 | 10 | 9 |
7 | 8 | 4 | 8 | 10 |
10 | 8 | 11 | 7 | 7 |
12 | 7 | 9 |
(Note: The average and the standard deviation of the data are respectively 8.26 day(s) and 1.91 day(s).)
At 1% significance level, test the claim that the average incubation period of the novel coronavirus is different from 6 day(s).
