You wish to test the following claim (H1H1) at a significance level of α=0.01α=0.01.

      Ho:μ=74.4Ho:μ=74.4
      H1:μ≠74.4H1:μ≠74.4

You believe the population is normally distributed, but you do not know the standard deviation. You obtain a sample of size n=273n=273 with a mean of M=77.4M=77.4 and a standard deviation of SD=16.7SD=16.7.
