- Historically, Olympic officials have reported testosterone levels in general should be u = 538 ng/dL, with o = 189, with x being normally distributed. Summer Olympic sprinters (n = 8) from the U.S. were tested for testosterone levels the morning after the opening ceremonies. Their sample mean was ng/dL. Do these data indicate that the sprinters had an overall average testosterone level greater than 538? Use a = .05.
