18. An insurance agent has claimed that the average age of policy-holders who insure through him is-less than the average for all agents, which is 30-5 years. A random sample of 100 policy-holders who had insured through him gave the following age distribution : Age last birthday 16-20 21-25 26-30 31-35 36- 40 No. of persons 12 22 20 30 16 Calculate the arithmetic mean and standard deviation of this distribution and use these values to test his claim at the 5% level of significance. You are given that Z (1-645) = (0-95.

Question: 1. An Insurance Agent Has Claimed That The Average Age Of Policy Holders Who Insure Through Him Is Less Than The Average For All The Agents, Which Is 35 Years.

Expert Answer
1st step All steps Final answer Step 1/4 Given : Sample mean X―=32 years Sample SE sn=2 years Sample size n=40
Level of significance
α=5%=0.05
Here we have to test the claim that the average age of policy holders who insure through insurance agent is less than 35 i.e. the average for all the agents.
To test the above claim the null and alternative hypothesis are,
H0:μ≥35
The average age of policy holders who insure through insurance agent is greater than equal to 35 .
vs H1:μ<35
The average age of policy holders who insure through insurance agent is less than 35 i.e. the average for all the agents.
Explanation for step 1
The null hypothesis is hypothesis of no difference and always contains an equality sign. The alternative hypothesis is opposite to the null hypothesis.
The standard error is given as,
SE=sn
where s is sample standard deviation.
