According to an article in Good Housekeeping, a 128-lb woman who walks for 30 minutes four times a week at a steady, four-mi/hr pace can lose up to 10 lbs over a span of a year. Suppose 35 women with weights between 125 and 130lb perform the four walks per week for a year and at the end of the year the average weight loss for the 35 was 9.1 lbs. If the sample standard deviation is 5, calculate the value of the test statistic and find the p-value of the hypothesis test of Ho:µ =10 vs H1:µ≠10.
Calculate the point estimate.
