Question

A researcher reports that the average IQ level of students in Alaminos City 
National High School (ACNHS) is 110. A sample of 20 students has a mean IQ 
level of 106 with a standard deviation of 9. At 5% level of significance, test the 
claim that the IQ level of students in ACNHS is 110. 

Solution:
Given:
x =
μ = 110
S =
α =
Step 1:
Ho: μ = 110
Ha: μ ‡ 110
Step 2: Determine the test statistic, then compute its value. Since n < 30, we will
use
x-μ
t =
9
√20

2.25
t =
Step 3:
From the t-value table at 0.05 level of significance, the critical value is
