    This document presents the steps to test a hypothesis about the mean of a population using a t-test. STEP 1 and 2 define the null and alternative hypotheses and provide the sample data with n=30 and α=0.05. STEP 3 and 4 calculate the t-statistic and identify the critical value of 1.6991 using 29 degrees of freedom from the t-distribution table. STEP 5 shows that the calculated t-statistic of 13.6639 exceeds the critical value, so the null hypothesis that the population mean is less than or equal to 1500 pounds is rejected.

    A SOLUTION: using critical value approach
    STEP 1: define the hypotheses:
    STEP 2: getting data from the problem we get that n = 30 and = 0.05.
    and from calculating the data, we get:
    1,723.4
    89.5508
    STEP 3: because is unknown, we use the t distribution and the t
    STAT
    test statistic.

    STEP 4:
    the critical value of the t distribution with 29 degrees of freedom is 1.6991 (see Table E.3)
    The decision rule is:
    reject H
    0
    if t
    STAT
    > 1.6991 ; otherwise do not reject H

    because t
    STAT
    = 13.6639 > 1.6991, we reject the null hypothesis.
    There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the population mean force
    is greater than 1,500 pounds.
    B The data are from a population that is normally distributed.

    D With the exception of some extreme point data and the outlier,
    the data are approximately normally distributed.
