Grades 65 64.3 68.4 69 73.5 83.2 69 68.4 88 68.4

Test grades are believed to be normally distributed. Use a significance level of 5%.

  1. State the alternative hypothesis: HA:HA:
  2. State the mean of the sample: (Round to two decimalplaces.)
  3. State the standard error of the sample means: (Round to four decimal places.)
  4. State the test statistic: t=t= (Round to four decimalplaces.)
  5. State the p-value: (Round to four decimal places.)
  6. Decision:
    • Do not reject the null hypothesis.
