      (Show Source): 
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Ho: salary is $26,000 Ha: it isn't
 alpha is 0.05
 test statistic is a t df=9, 0.975=2.262
 reject if |t|>2.262
 t=(x bar-26000)/s/ sqrt (10)
 t=(25852.2-26000)*sqrt(10)/3197.08
 =-0.146,
 Fail to reject Ho.
 Insufficient evidence to conclude that the mean is not $26,000.
