Question

You recently obtained a job with a sports analytics firm, and your first assignment is to write a report evaluating early evidence behind predictions for the 2019-20 NBA season. You will use your knowledge of hypothesis testing to assess the predictions. When conducting a hypothesis test for the population mean, you will not know the population standard deviation, so you will have to use the sample standard deviation instead. How will this affect the process

Answer 1

Answer:

It will affect the process in the sense that the sample population size will be unknown due to the fact that we don't know the population standard deviation.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that you do not know the population standard deviation. Thus, the sample population will not be able to be calculated because this sample standard deviation given will not suffice and we need the population standard deviation to be able to calculate the sample population size.
