The claim is that the IQ scores of statistics professors are normally​ distributed, with a mean greater than 133. A sample of 28 professors had a mean IQ score of 138 with a standard deviation of 6. Find the value of the test statistic

Answer:

The value of the test statistic is 4.41

Step-by-step explanation:

Our test statistic is:

[tex]t = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

In which X is the mean of the sample, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value of the claim, [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

In this problem, we have that:

[tex]X = 138, \mu = 133, \sigma = 6, n = 28[/tex]

So

[tex]t = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{138 - 133}{\frac{6}{\sqrt{28}}}[/tex]

[tex]t = 4.41[/tex]

The value of the test statistic is 4.41
