Assume randomness and sample's being normally distributed\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Ho: Mean is >=4.0
\n" ); document.write( "Ha: Mean is < 4.0
\n" ); document.write( "test stat is a t df=99 0.95
\n" ); document.write( "critical value is t <-1.66
\n" ); document.write( "t=(3.8-4)/0.46/sqrt(100)
\n" ); document.write( "t=-0.2*10/0.46=-4.34
\n" ); document.write( "This is highly significant, and the buyer's complaint is supported at the 5% level
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
