Answer:

Test: [tex]\mu[/tex] < 20 with normal distⁿ

Hypothesis test:

H0:  [tex]\mu \ge[/tex] 20                         (Null Hypothesis, H₀ : [tex]\mu[/tex] = 20 is also correct)

H1: [tex]\mu[/tex] < 20                             (Alternative Hypothesis, also called H₁)

This is lower tailed test.

Since sample is large, sample standard deviation can be taken as an  approximation of population standard deviation.

x = 19.3

[tex]\sigma[/tex] = 11.1

n = 444

significance level, [tex]\alpha[/tex] = 0.05 (If no value is given, we take level of 0.05)

Test statistic [tex]z* = \frac{x-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

         

                         [tex]= \frac{19.3-20}{11.1/\sqrt{444}}[/tex]

                       = - 1.33
