The sample mean is 12 for a sample of 36. The population standard deviation is 3. Use the .02 significance level.

Answer.
Five step hypothesis test
Step 1
H0: µ ≤ 10
H1: µ > 10

Step 2: Significance level of 0.02 % chosen.

Step 3: Reject Ho and except H1 if z > 2.07 (at 0.02 % Significance level z - value = 2.07)
Step 4: Using this ...
