*For this problem, you will be conducting a t test for a single sample.  See pages 235-237 for an example of conducting this type of analysis and model your response after that problem

) Step 3: What is the critical value for this test at alpha = .05 (i.e., significance level of 5%)?

 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Hypothesis:

Null hypothesis: H0: μ=4.5Alternative hypothesis: H1: μ>4.5

Step-by-step procedure to obtain the mean and the standard deviation using Excel is given below:

  • In Excel sheet, enter Scores X in one column.
  • In Data, select Data Analysis and choose Descriptive statistics.
  • In Input Variable Range, select Scores X.
  • Select Summary Statistics.
  • Click Labels.
  • Click Ok.

Output obtained using the Excel is given below:
