Question
Suzette, a dental assistant, would like to test the claim that the number of cavities of incoming patients at a doctor's office is more than 3 cavities on average. She decides to complete a hypothesis test at a 2.5% significance level. She samples 31 incoming dental patients, and determines the sample number of cavities to be 3.3 cavities on average with a sample standard deviation s=0.8 cavities.
Work through the testing procedure and interpret the results of the hypothesis test.
