a) State the null and alternative hypothesis (H. and Ha).

b) What are the n,X, s?

c) Compute the t-statistic. What is the degree of freedom (df)?

d) Find P-value from the table-D.

e) Test the hypothesis at the significance level a=0.05. Reject H. or Ha? Why?

f) What conclusion can you make about the mean weight of students?

Construct 95% Confidence Interval for the students' mean weight.

g) What value for t* should you use? Find the t* value from table-D.

h) Do the calculation for the 95% Confidence Intervapl.

i) Based on the 95% Confidence Interval from i), what conclusion can you make about the hypothesis in a)? Why?
