### Hypothesis Testing Guide

#### Problem Statement
Consider the following hypothesis test:
- Null Hypothesis (H0): μ ≤ 12
- Alternative Hypothesis (Ha): μ > 12

A sample of 25 provided a sample mean (\(\bar{x}\)) = 14 and a sample standard deviation (s) = 4.52.

#### Steps to Solve

**(a) Compute the value of the test statistic.**

- Use the formula for the test statistic for a one-sample t-test:
\[ t = \frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{s / \sqrt{n}} \]
- Here, \(\bar{x}\) is the sample mean, \(\mu\) is the hypothesized population mean, \(s\) is the sample standard deviation, and \(n\) is the sample size. Plug in the provided values and round off your answer to three decimal places.

**(b) Use the t distribution table to compute a range for the p-value.**

- Based on the calculated test statistic in part (a), refer to the t distribution table to determine the range where the p-value falls.
- Select the appropriate range:
  - \( \text{p-value} > 0.200 \)
  - \( 0.100 < \text{p-value} < 0.200 \)
  - \( 0.050 < \text{p-value} < 0.100 \)
  - \( 0.025 < \text{p-value} < 0.050 \)
  - \( 0.010 < \text{p-value} < 0.025 \)
  - \( \text{p-value} < 0.010 \)

**(c) At α = 0.05, what is your conclusion?**

- Based on the computed p-value range in part (b), decide whether to reject or not reject the null hypothesis at the significance level (α) of 0.05.
- Possible conclusions:
  - \( \circ \) Do not reject \( H_0 \). There is insufficient evidence to conclude that \( \mu > 12 \).
  - \( \circ \) Reject \( H_0 \). There is sufficient evidence to conclude that \( \mu > 12 \).
  - \( \circ \) Do not reject \( H_0 \). There is sufficient evidence to conclude that
