---------------
Ho: u = 40
Ha: u is not equal to 40
Find the mean of that set of data.
I'll leave that to you.
---
Call that sample mean "k"
----
Find t(k) = (k-40)/[5/sqrt(30)]
Let's say that number is "m"
---------------
Find the p-value = 2*P(t > m when df=29)
If that number is less than 5%, reject Ho.
If that number is greater tan 5%, fail to reject Ho.
