Referring to Exercise 9 .55, test H0 : μ = 2.8 versus H1 : μ ≠ 2.8 using a = .02.


Data from in  Exercise 9 .55

In a study of head injuries to ice hockey players the number of hits were monitored electronically by equipping approved helmets with accelerometers that measured head acceleration(m/s2) when a player was hit. The researchers counted the number of serious hits, those greater than 30 m/s2, accumulated by each of the 13 players on the team. The counts covered a wide range and tended to have a long right-hand tail so we took the square root and obtained the measurements where the largest values indicate larger chances of injury.
