Question
### Hypothesis Testing Using t-Distribution

In this example, we aim to test the following hypotheses:

- Null Hypothesis (H₀): μ = 20
- Alternative Hypothesis (H₁): μ < 20

A simple random sample of size n = 19 is obtained from a population that is known to be normally distributed. We will address the following parts (a)- (d):

1. **Click here to view the t-Distribution Area in Right Tail.**

2. **Part (a)**

   If the sample mean (x̄) is 18.4 and the sample standard deviation (s) is 4.3, compute the test statistic using the formula for a one-sample t-test:
   
   \[
   t = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{s / \sqrt{n}}
   \]
   
   - Here, \(\overline{x} = 18.4\)
   - \(\mu = 20\)
   - \(s = 4.3\)
   - \(n = 19\)
   
   Compute the t value (Round to two decimal places as needed):

   (formula and calculation steps to be shown)
