The association claims the average price of a home in their subdivision is $125,150 with a standard deviation of $7350.
---------
A sample of 36 homes for sale in this subdivision had an average selling price of $123550. At a = 0.05, what is the test value?
-------
x-bar = 123550
----
The test value, or test statistic is:
t(x-bar) = (123550-125150)/[7350/sqrt(36)] = -1.3061
