An engineering department states that the average voltage output of a sensor is 12 volts. A sample of 25 sensors gives a mean output of 11.6 volts with a sample standard deviation of 0.8 volts. Test whether the average voltage output is at most 12 volts. Write the following in the given space. Use “u” for average of the population and “p” for the proportion of the poluplation. Null: Alternative: Which distribution and why?
