Need to know the test that will be performed on the following question:

The data comprises hours devoted to patient care per week for practitioners in conventional and alternative medical practices.

Question:
Can we infer that the mean amount of time devoted to patient care per week by doctors using conventional methods exceeds that of doctors using alternative methods? Test at the 10% level of significance.

What test will be performed:
Hypothesis Test for m (s known)--Two-sided Z-Test
Hypothesis Test for m (s known)--One-sided Z-Test
Hypothesis Test for m (s unknown)--Two-sided t-Test
Hypothesis Test for m (s unknown)--One-sided t-Test
Hypothesis Test for p--One-sided Z-Test

This is plainly a theory question, to test your knowledge of the theory. You should therefore refer to your reading materials and try to gain a good understanding of the subject.

If you short-cut through the theory, that will probably hurt you in the end.
 
Namaste & G'day Postulate: A strongly-knit team wins on average over a less knit one Fundamentals: - Two teams face off with 4 players each - A polo team consists of players that each have assigned to them a measure of their ability (called a "Handicap" - 10 is highest, -2 lowest) I attempted to measure close-knitness of a team in terms of standard deviation (SD) of handicaps of the players. Failure: It turns out that, more often than, a team with a higher SD wins. In my language, that...
Hi all, I've been a roulette player for more than 10 years (although I took time off here and there) and it's only now that I'm trying to understand the physics of the game. Basically my strategy in roulette is to divide the wheel roughly into two halves (let's call them A and B). My theory is that in roulette there will invariably be variance. In other words, if A comes up 5 times in a row, B will be due to come up soon. However I have been proven wrong many times, and I have seen some...
