A survey of 32 different gas stations in Texas found the average price of gasoline to be $3.19 a gallon with a sample standard deviation of $0.096. Let μ be the true average price of gasoline price in Texas. The survey company claimed that gasoline in Texas was significantly lower than the national average $3.26 a gallon. The alernative hypothesis to test the claim is H 1 : μ <$3.26. Calculate the test statistic.

The value of test statistic is -4.1247

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:  

Population mean, μ = $3.26 a gallon

Sample mean, = $3.19 a gallon

Sample size, n = 32

Sample standard deviation, σ = $0.096

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis

We use one-tailed t test to perform this hypothesis.

Formula:

Putting all the values, we have

Thus, the value of test statistic is -4.1247

it is a function because for every x value there is only one y value

for every x value there is only one y value
