40 people are randomly selected and the accuracy of their wristwatches is checked, with positive errors representing watches that are ahead of the correct time and negative errors representing watches that are behind the correct time. The 40 values have a mean of 110 seconds and a population standard deviation of 197 seconds. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the population of all watches has a mean of 0 seconds (use two-sided alternative). What is the test statistic? What is the P-Value?
