Assume that a simple random sample has been selected from a normally distributed population and test the given claim.
Use either the traditional method or P-value method as indicated. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses, test
statistic, critical value(s) or P-value (or range of P-values) as appropriate, and state the final conclusion that addresses the
original claim.
1. Use a significance level of = 0.01 to test the claim that µ > 2.85. The sample data consist of 9 scores for which x = 3.13 and s = 0.55. Use the traditional method of testing hypotheses.

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
