ONE SAMPLE T TEST

A random sample of 22 students’ weights from the student population of palamar college were taken. The average weight of the population of college students is µ = 140. The 22 students in the sample had the following weights:

X

135   205
119   195
106   185
135   182
180   150
108   175
128   190
160   180
143   195
175   220
170   235

Please state your null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis, both as an equation and in your own words. After you run the data through SPSS, please write up the results.
