Question 1177423: The dean of a university estimates that the mean number of classroom hours per week for full-time faculty is 11.0. As a member of the student council, you want to test this claim. A random sample of the number of classroom hours for eight full-time faculty for one week is shown. At α=0.01, can you reject the dean's claim?
Classroom hours:
11.8
8.6
12.6
7.9
6.4

Parameter is mean number of classroom hours per week per full time faculty member.
Ho: mu=11.0
Ha: it doesn't=11.0
alpha=0.01 p{reject Ho|Ho true}
2-way 1 sample t-test
assume normality
test statistic is a t 0.995, df=7
critical value |t|>3.499
t=(x bar-mean)/s/sqrt(n)
=(10.05-11)/2.49/sqrt(8)
=-0.95*sqrt(8)/2.49
=-1.08
fail to reject Ho.
Insufficient evidence to conclude that the mean is different from 11.0 hours.
p=0.32
