In a sample of 14 randomly selected high school seniors, the mean score on a standardized test was 1197 and the standard deviation was 166.9. Further research suggests that the population mean score on this test for high school seniors is 1018. Does the t-value for the original sample fall between -to.95 and to.95? Assume that the population of test scores for high school seniors is normally distributed. fall between -to.95 and to.95 because to.95 = The t-value of t= (Round to two decimal places as needed.) C
