The average expenditure per student (based on average daily attendance) for a certain school year was $10,337 with a population standard deviation of $1560. A survey for the next school year of 150 randomly selected students resulted in a sample mean of $10,798. Do these results indicate that the average expenditure has changed? Choose your own level of significance.
