A professor
A professor in a typing class found out that the average performance of an expert typist is 85 words per minute. A random sample of 16 students took the typing test, and we obtained an average speed of 62 words per minute with a standard deviation of 8. Can we say that the sample student's performance is below the standard deviation at the 0.05 level of significance?
