Question

A psycho-linguist has been studying the frequency of text-speech (e.g., R U Ok?, LOL ) has been progressing into EMAIL correspondence.  He collects a sample of 121 EMAIL messages and computes the mean (average) number of examples of text-speech per message.  He also has a huge library of archived EMAIL messages from the year 2001.  From these he is able to calculate the population average and standard deviation.  Compute a inferential statistic to evaluate the hypothesis that the use of text-speech has increased in the years since 2001.  Use an alpha level that would insure a maximum of a %5 risk of rejecting a true null hypothesis. 

These are the obtained values:

Population Mean from 2001:                          1.6      

Population Standard deviation from 2001:    1.25    

Sample mean from this year:                           1.98     

 

The appropriate statistics to use is a ___ test.
