Question 187049This question is from textbook
: In testing the hypothesis, H0: µ ≥ 28.7 and Ha: µ < 28.7, using the p-value approach, a p-value of 0.0764 was obtained. If (standard deviation symbol)= 9.8, find the sample mean which produced this p-value given that the sample of size n = 40 was randomly selected.
Can anyone help me with this one????

You can put this solution on YOUR website! In testing the hypothesis,
Ho: µ ≥ 28.7 and Ha: µ < 28.7, using the p-value approach, a p-value of 0.0764 was obtained.
--------------
Draw the picture with a left tail having area = 0.0764
---
The corresponding z-value is z = -1.4297
----------------------
If (standard deviation symbol)= 9.8, find the sample mean which produced this p-value given that the sample of size n = 40 was randomly selected.
---
Use the formula z = (x-u)/s
-1.4297 = (28.7-u)/9.8
28.7-u = -14.0112
u = 14.69
