H0 : µ = 70

H1 : µ ≠ 70

(a) Calculate Z0.005. Explain the meaning ofZ0.005. (b) If the sample mean is observed to be 71,would you reject H0 with 99% confidence? What is thep-value of the sample mean? (c) If the sample mean is observed tobe 71, and the sample size is 30 (instead of 100), would you rejectH0 with 99% confidence?
