1. One Sample T-Test: Determine whether the average satisfaction rating of customers for a product is significantly different from a hypothetical mean of 75.
(Hints: The null can be about maintaining status-quo or no difference; If your alternative hypothesis is non-directional (e.g., μ≠75), you should use the two-tailed p-value from excel file to make a decision about rejecting or not rejecting null. If alternative is directional (e.g., μ < 75), you should use the lower-tailed p-value. For alternative hypothesis μ > 75, you should use the upper-tailed p-value.)
