------------------
Ho: mu=250
Ha: mu>250
alpha = 5%, so critical value is t = 1.645
Test Statistic: t(275.66) = (275.66-150)/[78.11/sqrt25] = 1.642555...
p-value = 0.056757
----------------------
Conclusion:
Fail to reject Ho because p-value is greater than 5%, but not by much.
(b) Is this a close decision?
You bet it is.
