Data Summary

The null and alternative hypotheses are              
Ho : μ ≤ 26       μ is the population mean      
Ha : μ < 26              
              
α = 0.05              
We use T test since population standard deviation is unknown, and sample size is small              
Using the below formula, we get the test statistic              
              
Degrees of Freedom (df)             
df = n - 1 = 399              
              
t-statistic  

           
t-statistic = -0.5              
              
For t = -0.5 df = 399 we find the Left Tailed p-value using t tables         

p-value = 0.3085
