he average oxygen uptake of healthy women is assumed to be forty. Thirty women in a mountain city were measured and the following values were found: mean is 33.5 and standard deviation is 12.5. Can we hypothesize at a 0.05 level of significance that these women have a lesser oxygen uptake than 40? Determine the  test statistic, computed value of the test statistic, critical value, and decision concerning the null hypothesis.
