Answer: 1.460

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Researchers report that on average freshman who live on campus gain 15 pounds during their first year in college.

Let \mu represents the population mean .

Then, the set of hypothesis will be:-

H_0: \mu=15

H_a:\mu\neq15

We assume that this is normal distribution.

Sample size : n = 10, which is a small sample (n<30) ,s o we use t-test.

Sample mean : \overliene{x}=16.2\ lbs

Standard deviation : \sigma=2.6

The test statistic for population mean for small sample is given by :-

t=\dfrac{\overline{x}-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

t=\dfrac{16.2-15}{\dfrac{2.6}{\sqrt{10}}}=1.45951276623\approx1.460

Hence , the value of test statistic = 1.460
