Question
You are conducting a hypothesis test to determine whether a group of elderly in a nursing care facility have contracted COVID-19. Without test kits, you resort to taking their temperatures (one of the first symptoms to surface). Your null hypothesis is that mu is less than or equal to 98.6 degrees. Your test will be at the 0.01 significance level. You take a sample of 50 people (a large sample), and find that the sample average is 99.3 degrees, and the standard deviation is 2. What is the value of your test statistic? (Please answer to two decimal places. ex: 5.43)
