The Dean of Instruction at a local college requested that a new standardized test for an introductory statistics course be developed with the requirement that it should have µ = 100 and σ = 10. A class of 30 students complete the new test with a mean grade of 95. Conduct a hypothesis test at α = .05 to determine whether the claim that µ = 100 can be supported. Use the p-value approach and complete the following to show how this would be done.
The appropriate statistical test is - one sample Z test
Conclusion : There is sufficient evidence to conclude that mean grade in the new test is significantly different from 100.
