Answer:
The test statistic is [tex]t = 2.79[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The population mean is [tex]\mu = 59.3[/tex]
The sample size is [tex]n = 79[/tex]
The sample mean is [tex]\= x = 62.4[/tex]
The standard deviation is [tex]\sigma = 9.86[/tex]
Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as
[tex]t = \frac{\= x - \mu }{ \frac{ \sigma}{ \sqrt{n} } }[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]t = \frac{ 62.2 - 59.3 }{ \frac{ 9.86}{ \sqrt{ 79} } }[/tex]
[tex]t = 2.79[/tex]
