----
Ho: u <= 208
Ha: u > 208 (claim)
------
x-bar = 209.74 ; s = 1.6734
test statistic: z(209.74) = (209.74-208)/1.6734 = 1.0398
Critical value: z = invNorm(.99) = 2.3263
-----
Conclusion: Since the test stat is not in the reject interval,
fail to reject Ho.
The test results do not support the claim.
