$n = 46 ;$ Arithmetic Mean = 28.00; Standard Deviation = 25.92; Standard Error = 3.82; Null Hypothesis: $H _ { 0 } : \mu \leq 20.000 ; \alpha = 0.10 ; \mathrm { df } = 45 ; T$ Test Statistic = 2.09;
One-Tailed Test Upper Critical Value $= 1.3006 ; p$ -value $= 0.021 ;$ Decision $=$ Reject.
-Referring to Instruction 9-1,if these data were used to perform a two-tailed test,the p-value would be 0.042.
