It was randomly chosen as a sample of 18 units from a stack known to have a normal distribution. It was observed that the mean of this sample was 62 and the variance was 16. In line with the findings obtained, test whether the average of the stack from which this sample was drawn is different than 57 at a significance level of 1%, and interpret the decision you made as a result of the test. While testing the hypothesis test, apply the 4 stages and show them separately.
