Mean annual income of certified welders


The mean annual income of certified welders is normally distributed with a mean of $50,000 and a population standard deviation of $2,000. The ship building association wishes to find out whether their welders earn more or less than $50,000 annually. The alternate hypothesis is that the mean is not $50,000. If the level of significance is 0.10, what is the decision rule?

A. Do not reject the null hypothesis if computed z lies between -1.645 and +1.645; otherwise, reject it.

B. Do not reject the null hypothesis if computed z is greater than 1.645; otherwise, reject it.

C. Do not reject the null hypothesis if computed z lies between -1.960 and +1.960; otherwise, reject it.

D. Reject the null hypothesis if computed z is below -1.960; otherwise, reject it.
