----------
Ho: u = 10
Ha: u is not 10
------------------
mu-hat = 9.57 ; s = 1.1767
-------------------
Critical value for 2-tail z-test and alpha=5% : +-1.96
-------------------
Test statistic:
z(9.57) = (9.57-10) = -1.1556
-----------------
Conclusion: Since test stat is not in the rejection interval
Fail to reject Ho; test provides statistical evidence that u=10.
