Question:
Use this sample to test whether the population mean is different from the value calculated in part a) above. Use the critical value and the p-value approach and a 5% level of significance. Assume that the population standard deviation is unknown, and the shape of the population property assessment values follows Normal distribution. Make sure to include all the steps of hypotheses (hypotheses, decision zone, critical value, p-value, conclusion with justification) and show your manual calculations.
part a) answers are:
Mean = = x / N =619537.65
Standard deviation = = ((x-)2 / N) =252317.1
