1. The problem is to recalculate the test statistic correctly when the previous calculation was wrong.
2. The test statistic formula depends on the type of test (e.g., z-test, t-test). For a one-sample z-test, the formula is:
$$z = \frac{\bar{x} - \mu_0}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$$
where $\bar{x}$ is the sample mean, $\mu_0$ is the hypothesized population mean, $\sigma$ is the population standard deviation, and $n$ is the sample size.
3. Important rules:
- Use the correct values for $\bar{x}$, $\mu_0$, $\sigma$, and $n$.
- Ensure the standard deviation and sample size are correctly plugged in.
4. Suppose the previous test statistic was calculated with wrong $\bar{x}$ or $\sigma$. Recalculate using the correct values.
5. Example: If $\bar{x} = 105$, $\mu_0 = 100$, $\sigma = 15$, and $n = 25$, then:
$$z = \frac{105 - 100}{\frac{15}{\sqrt{25}}} = \frac{5}{\frac{15}{5}} = \frac{5}{3}$$
6. Show intermediate cancellation:
$$z = \frac{5}{\cancel{\frac{15}{5}}} = \frac{5}{3}$$
7. Final answer:
$$z = 1.67$$
This is the correctly recalculated test statistic.
