Step 2: Alternative Hypothesis

$\\operatorname{H}_1\\;: \\; \\mu \\neq\\;\\var{thisamount}$

b)

\n

We should use the z statistic since the sample size is greater than 30.

The test statistic:

\\[z = \\frac{\\var{m}-\\var{thisamount}}{\\frac{\\var{stand}}{\\sqrt{\\var{n}}}}=\\var{zval}\\]

 For a significance level of 5%:

$z_{{\\frac{\\alpha}{2}}}=1.96$

Hence there is {evi1[pval]} evidence against $\\operatorname{H}_0$ and so we {dothis} $\\operatorname{H}_0$.
