There has been no evidence to suggest whether those seniors score better or worse than the national average and she is curious as to how her class (N=17) compares.

Write the null and alternative hypothesis in statistical form:

 

Determine the mean for the sample:

 

Apply the z-test formula

 

What is your alpha level set to?   α

 

Determine the critical value(s) (Zcrit)

 

Label the critical value(s) and indicate the position of the Zobt on the distribution

 

Write the z result in the correct form:

As the Null Hypothesis is set up for possible rejection, hence

Null Hypothesis(H0): μSeniors=μNational average , i.e there is no difference between the scores of the seniors and the national averageAlternative Hypothesis(H1): μSeniors μNational averagewhere, μSeniors is the mean score of seniors from the population, andμNatinal average is the national average(mean) score.
