Hi  
Calculate the p-value of the test to determine that there is sufficient evidence to infer u > 0 
 
n= 100,  x̄ = 1.5  
Ho: u ≤ 0        Note:  Ho MUST contain equality:: = or ≤ or  ≥  
Ha: u > 0  claim
generally a 95% confidence level is used.  alpha = 0.05
  
  = 1.5
    p(1.5) = normalpdf(1.5)= .13   Using Calculator
  .13 > .05  Fail to Reject Ho
(Note:  If the p-value is greater than alpha = 0.05, so we fail to reject the null hypothesis)
That is: There is NOT sufficient evidence, at the 0.05 level of significance, to support a claim that u > 0
