Question
Medical School Applications A medical college dean read that the average number of applications a potential medical school student sends is 7.7. She thinks that the
7.7. So she selects a random sample of 28 applicants and asks each how many medical schools they applied to. The mean of the sample is 6.8. The population standard deviation is 2.5 . Test her claim at α=0.10. Assume that the variable is normally distributed. Use the P -value method with tables.
State the hypotheses and identify the claim.
:H0 ▼(Choose one)
:H1 ▼(Choose one)
This hypothesis test is a ▼(Choose one) test.
