A sample of five measurements, randomly selected from a normally distributed population, resulted in the following summary statistics: x overbarxequals=5.25.2,
sequals=1.41.4.
Complete parts a through c.
a. Test the null hypothesis that the mean of the population is 66
against the alternative hypothesis, muless than<66.
