Data provided
represent the sample mean in mg per deciliter of cholesterol level
represent the sample standard deviation
sample size
represent the value that we want to test
t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)
represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)
System of hypothesis

Null hypothesis:
Alternative hypothesis:
The statistic is given by:
(1)
Calculate the statistic
Replacing into the formula we got:
P-value
We need to find first the degrees of freedom:
The p value for this case since we have a right tailed test is:
