Answer:

when σ = 10 and α = .05 than null hypothesis is reject

Explanation:

given data

µ = 80

M = 88

solution

get know that sample mean of z-score formula that is

z = [tex]\frac{X-M}{s}[/tex] ......................1

here X is sample mean and M is population mean and s = σ that is standard deviation

so If we take here s = σ = 5 and α = .05

so put here value in equation 1 we get

z = [tex]\frac{88-80}{5}[/tex]

z = 1.6

so that corresponding p value = 0.05

as that here significant result

p ≤ 0.05

so that we can say null hypothesis is reject
