| Topic | Hypothesis test of a normal distribution |
4 The random variable \(X\) has a normal distribution with unknown mean \(\mu\) and unknown variance \(\sigma ^ { 2 }\)
A random sample of 8 observations of \(X\) has mean \(\bar { x } = 101.5\) and gives the unbiased estimate of the variance as \(s ^ { 2 } = 4.8\)
The random sample is used to conduct a hypothesis test at the \(10 \%\) level of significance with the hypotheses
$$\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm { H } _ { 0 } : \mu = 100
& \mathrm { H } _ { 1 } : \mu \neq 100
\end{aligned}$$
Carry out the hypothesis test.
