Consider the following hypothesis test:

H0:μ≤35H_0: \mu \leq 35

Ha:μ>35H_a: \mu > 35

A sample of 25 provided a sample mean of 34.65. The population standard deviation is 4. The value of the t-test statistic is

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Standard error =425=0.8=\frac{4}{\sqrt{25}}=0.8. The statistic is 34.65−350.8=−0.4375\frac{34.65-35}{0.8}=-0.4375.

Note: The question says t-test statistic although the population standard deviation is given; we have used the standard formula with the given values, which matches an option.
