  4239.16467 Mean
  5811.7292 Standard deviation

The t-test statistic will be used as shown below:

We set,

H0: 4500

HA: 4500

tstatistic= x - [/ (S/n)]

tstatistic= 4239.16467 - [4500 / (5811.7292 / 60)]

tstatistic= - 0.3476

The critical value comes out to be 1.67

Thus, the null hypothesis is rejected.
