\\(H_0:\\) The mean \\(=\\var{mu1}\\).

\n

\\(H_1:\\) The mean \\(\\ne\\var{mu1}\\).

\n

This is a two-sided test.

\n

Given a sample of size \\(n\\) recall:

\n

the formula for the sample mean:    \\(\\overline{x}=\\frac{\\sum {x}}{n}=\\var{sample_mean_2}\\)

\n

the formula for the sample standard deviation:   \\(s=\\sqrt{\\frac{\\sum{(x-\\overline{x})^2}}{n-1}}=\\var{sample_stdev_2}\\)

\n

the 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}\\)

\n

The 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}\\]

\n

Compare the test statistic with the t-table values and choose your conclusion.
