A sample of 75 students enrolled in the university indicates that X (bar) = $285.4 and s = $42.20

a. Using the 0.05 level of significance, is there evidence that the population mean is above $300?
b. What is your answer in (a) if s= $90 and the 0.10 level of significance is used?
c. What is your answer in (a) if X (bar) = $310.10 and s= $40.20?
d. Based on the information in part (a), what decision should the director make about the books used for the courses if the goal is to keep the cost below $300?
