b. Compute the sample mean.

 (to  2 decimals)

c. Compute the sample standard deviation.

 (to 4 decimals)

d. Find the test statistic and p -value.

 

   (to  3 decimals)

p-value:

here is the

choices

lower than 0.01

between 0.01 and 0.025

between 0.05 and 0.0250

between 0.05 and 0.10

between 0.10 and 0.20

greater than 0.20

 

e. What is your conclusion?

We do or do not  reject the null hypothesis. There is or is not  enough evidence to prove that the mean tree-planting time differs from  2 hours.
