  • The amount of reimbursement was xbar = $93.70, s = $34.55.
  1. At the 0.05 level of significance, is there evidence that the population mean reimbursement was less than $100?
  2. At the 0.05 level of significance, is there evidence that the proportion of incorrect reimbursements in the population was greater than 0.10?
  3. Discuss the underlying assumptions of the test used in (a).
