The Head of the Math Department announced that the mean score of Grade 11 students in St. James High School in the medterm examination in statistics and probability was 88 and the standard deviation was 10. One student who believed that the mean score was less than this, randomly selected 35 students and computed their mean score. She obtained a mean score of 84. At 0.01 level of significance, test the student’s belief.
