TECHNICAL QUESTION (15 marks)

Ho : Fijian families use 25 coconuts a month

HA : Fijian families use more than 25 coconuts a month

Calculating t value

Mean=36 SD=20 n=30 α=0.10

t = (Mean - Mo)/sqrt (s.d2/n)

=36-25/sqrt (400/30)

=3.0125
p value t0.1,29=0.003

Reject null hypothesis since p value is less than 0.1.

The conclusion is that Fijian families consume more than 25 coconuts monthly
