2. A coffee shop knows that the temperature of their coffees has a distribution that is skewed to the left with mean µ degrees and standard deviation σ = 8 degrees. A random sample of 36 coffees yielded a sample mean temperature ¯ x = 187 degrees.
(a) Test H0 : µ = 190 versus Ha : µ 6= 190 at the α = 0.01 significance level using a 3-step test.
(b) Based upon your answer in part (a), does µ significantly differ from 190? Why?
(c) Approximate the p−value for the test in part (a).
(d) Based upon your answer in part (c), does µ significantly differ from 190? Why?
