In a sample of 15 randomly selected high school seniors, the mean score on a standardized test was 1180 and the standard deviation was 164.3. Further research suggests that the population mean score on this test for high school seniors is 1020. Does the t-value for the original sample fall between - to 90 and to 90? Assume that the population of test scores for high school seniors is normally distributed. The t-value of t = fall between - to.90 and to.90 because to.90 %3D (Round to two decimal places as needed.)

Ages of Gamblers The mean age of a sample of 25 people who were playing the slot machines is 49.9 years, and the standard deviation is 6.8 years. The mean age of a sample of 33 people who were playing roulette is 55.5 with a standard deviation of 3.2 years. Can it be concluded at =α0.10 that the mean age of those playing the slot machines is less than those playing roulette? Use μ1 for the mean age of those playing slot machines.
