The following set of \\(\\var{sample_size}\\) numbers is believed to be drawn from a normal population:
\n{r1[0]} | \n{r1[1]} | \n{r1[2]} | \n{r1[3]} | \n{r1[4]} | \n{r1[5]} | \n{r1[6]} | \n{r1[7]} | \n{r1[8]} | \n{r1[9]} | \n{r1[10]} | \n{r1[11]} | \n{r1[12]} | \n{r1[13]} | \n
We want to test the hypothesis that the population mean = \\(\\var{mu1}\\).
\n", "advice": "\n\\(H_0:\\) The mean \\(=\\var{mu1}\\).
\n\\(H_1:\\) The mean \\(\\ne\\var{mu1}\\).
\nThis is a two-sided test.
\nGiven a sample of size \\(n\\) recall:
\nthe formula for the sample mean: \\(\\overline{x}=\\frac{\\sum {x}}{n}=\\var{sample_mean_2}\\)
\nthe formula for the sample standard deviation: \\(s=\\sqrt{\\frac{\\sum{(x-\\overline{x})^2}}{n-1}}=\\var{sample_stdev_2}\\)
\nthe formula for the t-statistic: \\(t=\\frac{\\overline{x}-\\mu}{\\frac{s}{\\sqrt{n}}}=\\frac{\\var{sample_mean_2}-\\var{mu1}}{\\frac{\\var{sample_stdev_2}}{\\sqrt{\\var{sample_size}}}}=\\var{test_statistic}\\)
\nThe t-table values will be for a two-tailed test and will have \\(n-1=13\\) degrees of freedom looking this up gives:
\n\\[\\begin{array}{r|rrrr}&0.10&0.05&0.01\\\\\\hline13&\\pm\\var{t90}&\\pm\\var{t95}&\\pm\\var{t99}\\end{array}\\]
\nCompare the test statistic with the t-table values and choose your conclusion.
