  • Stats problem: finding and interpreting p-values (quantitative data)?

    I'm currently on spring break, and this is due the day I get back otherwise I would ask my teacher about it. I've already constructed a confidence interval for this, I'm just a little confused about the significance test for it.

    Null Hypothesis: Mew = $74.35

    Alternative Hypothesis: Mew < $74.35

    Statistics:

    sample mean = $76.72

    sample standard deviation = $5.22

    sample size = 40

    I tried running a t-test on my calculator and the p-value I got from that was .003 (which i assume means the probability of the null hypothesis being correct rather than the alternative is .003). Considering the parameter is less than 1 standard deviation from the sample mean, I don't think this makes sense. Shouldn't the p-value be more like .4 or .3?

    I know I'm doing something wrong (calculation or interpretation) and I'd like help to find and understand the correct p-value.

  • can anyone make sence of this?

    There's supposedly some hidden message in this. Here it is.

    Once upon a time there were three bridges

    The bridges were built to last the ages

    running over great barriers to the people

    one bridge was built over a great canyon

    this bridge was not yellow

    the bridge that didn't go over the desert was nearer to the red bridge

    the bridge that went over the lake was blue

    the only bridge that leads to the treasure is the one

    which is made of marble

    which

    unlike the one of wood and brick

    is nearer to the red bridge
