Hi

Ho: p >= 12.500 (claim)

Ha: p <12,500 

-----------------------------------------

Sample:

mean = 12031

s = 1606.595

---

test stat:: z(12031) = (12031-12500)/[1606.6/sqrt(10)] =  - 499/508.1 = -.9821

-----

p-value = P(z < -.9821) = .1630

Conclusiion: 

Since the p-value is greater than .01, accept claim.

The test results support the claim.
