8 6.9 6.1 6.6 7.5 8 7.6 7.3 7.8 5.7
(a) Find t. (Give your answer correct to two decimal places.)
(ii) Find the p-value. (Give your answer correct to four decimal places.)
(b) State the appropriate conclusion.
(a) Reject the null hypothesis, there is not significant evidence that the mean is less than 7.
(b)Reject the null hypothesis, there is significant evidence that the mean is less than 7.
(c) Fail to reject the null hypothesis, there is not significant evidence that the mean is less than 7.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Your problem setup is not correct.
The only null-alternate hypotheses allowed are :
1.Equal to, not equal to
2.Less than or equal to, greater than
3.Greater than or equal to, less than
The one you stated is not one of these.
