A researcher knows that the average height of Filipino women is 1.525 meters. A random sample of 32 women was found to have a mean height of 1.56 meters with a standard deviation of 0.10 meters. Is there a reason to believe that the sample of women is significantly taller than the others? Use 0.05 level of significance.
