You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Ho: mu >= 15
Ha: mu < 15 (claim)
Generally the z-value is found and its corresponding p-value is compared with .01
However,
one-tailed...the 'critical z-value: invNorm(.01) = -2.326
z-value(determined) < -2.326 will cause Ho to be rejected abd the claim accepted
