Application of z-test/t-test 1. The college students in a university go through an average of 500 disposable cups in a year with a standard deviation of 42 cups. To raise environmental awareness, a student group at a large university volunteered to help count how many cups were used by students on their campus. A random sample of 50 students' results found that they used a mean of 476. At a 0.01, is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean differs from 500?
