The random variable \(X\) was assumed to have a normal distribution with mean \(\mu\). Using a random sample of size 128, a significance test was carried out using the following hypotheses.
\(\mathrm { H } _ { 0 } : \mu = 30\)
\(\mathrm { H } _ { 1 } : \mu > 30\)
It was found that \(\sum x = 3929.6\) and \(\sum x ^ { 2 } = 123483.52\). The conclusion of the test was to reject the null hypothesis.
- Determine the range of possible values of the significance level of the test.
- It was subsequently found that \(X\) was not normally distributed.
Explain whether this invalidates the conclusion of the test.
