Answer:

We are supposed to find Is this sample result good evidence that the mean of all students in this town is less than 261

Sample size = n = 200

\bar{x}=257

\mu = 257

Since n>30

Standard deviation = \sigma = 41

So,we will use z test

H_0:\mu \geq 261\\H_a:\mu < 261

Formula : z=\frac{\bar{x}-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

Substitute the values

z=\frac{257-261}{\frac{41}{\sqrt{200}}}

z=-1.37

Now find the p value from the z table

P(z<-1.37)=0.0853

Let us suppose the significance level is 5 %

So, α = 0.05

p value > α

So, we accept the null hypothesis \mu \geq 261
