Assume that a simple random sample has been selected from a normally distributed
population. Find the test statistic t.
A local newspaper reported that for the adult population of a town, the mean annual salary is $30,000.
Test the claim that for the adult population of this town, the mean annual salary is greater than
$30,000. Sample data are summarized as n = 17, sample mean = $22,298, and s = $14,200. Use a
significance level of alpha = 0.05.
Find the test statistic t.
a) -2.24
b) -1.57
c) 1.57
d) 2.24
e) 0.05
