Statistics students believe that the mean score on a first statistics test is 65. The instructor thinks that the mean score is higher. She samples 10 statistics students and obtains the scores:

Grades 73.5 88 63.9 85.5 62.7 65 83.2 61.9 88 62.7



Test grades are believed to be normally distributed.

Use a significance level of 5%.

  1. State the alternative hypothesis: HA:HA:
    • μ>65μ>65
    • μ<65μ<65
    • μ≠65μ≠65
  2. State the mean of the sample: 
  3. State the standard error of the sample means: 
  4. State the test statistic: t=t= 
  5. State the p-value: 
  6. Decision:
    • Fail to reject the null hypothesis.
    • Reject the null hypothesis.
