Hi,
*Note: Formula for the test statistic is
In this case n = 10
Entering the Data into an Excel worksheet column and applying the Data Analysis tool
found and for this sampling.
= -3.8/2.328 = -1.632
P(t < -1.632) can be found using the NORMSDIST(-1.632)function in Excel
or by looking at an usual standard normal table.
P(t < -1.632) = .05134 or 5.1%
The test results show that this sampling is in the low range of normal hearing
