A major university claimed that the mean number of credit hours that their entire population of undergraduate students took each semester was 13.1. A counselor questioned whether this was true. She took a random sample of 250 undergraduate students, and the mean of that sample of students showed that they completed 12.8 credit hours. The population standard deviation is 1.6. Conduct a full hypothesis test using the p-value approach. Let α = .05.
Determine if the mean credit hours for the sample is significantly different than that of the population.
What formula seems to match what we have been given and what we need to find?
