One-Sample t Test: Example
A. H0: µ = 3300 versus Ha: µ ≠ 3300 (two-sided)
B. Test statistic
x − µ 0 2890.5 − 3300
tstat = = = −1.80
SE x 720 10
df = n − 1 = 10 − 1 = 9
C.P = 0.1054 [next slide]
Weak evidence against H0
(optional) Data are not significant at α = 0.10

• Typical point “estimate ± margin of error” formula
• tn-1,1-α/2 is from t table (see bottom row for conf. level)
• Similar to z procedure except uses s instead of σ
• Similar to z procedure except uses t instead of z
• Alternative formula:
