We often want to determine if the population mean (µ) is equal to a specific value.
Example #1 uses data from an Australian school to test a hypothesis about the perceived width of a classroom in meters.
Example #2 (Requires List-Stat)
Exercise #1 uses data from an Ohio State study to test a hypothesis about the mean faculty salaries.
Exercise #2 tests a hypothesis about the mean price of handcrafted toys.
Exercise #3 tests a hypothesis about the mean pulse rate of Peruvian Indians.
Exercise #4 tests a hypothesis about the effects of a vitamin supplement on male birth weight.
