H0: µ ≤ 10
H1: µ > 10
The sample mean is 12, and the sample size is 36. The population follows the normal distribution and the standard deviation is 3. Use a .02 significance level.
---------------------
t(12) = (12-10)/[3/sqrt(12)] = 2.3094...
---
p-value: P(t> 2.3094 when df=11) = 0.02067
---
Whoa! That p-value is only 67/1000th above the significance mark.
---
Conclusion: Since the p-value is greater than 2%, fail to reject Ho.
----
Also, you should do more testing.
