An old medical textbook states that the mean sodium level for healthy adults is 140 mEq per liter of blood A medical researcher believes that because of modern dietary habits the mean sodium level for healthy adults now differs from that given in the textbook A random sample of 11 healthy adults is evaluated The mean sodium level for the sample is 149 mEq per liter of blood It is known that the population standard deviation of adult sodium levels is 12 mEq Assume that the population is normally distributed Can we conclude at the 0 05 level of significance that the population mean adult sodium level differs from that given in the textbook Perform a two tailed test Then complete the parts below Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places and round your responses as specified below If necessary consult a list of formulas a State the null hypothesis Ho and the alternative hypothesis H Ho H 0 b Determine the type of test statistic to use Choose one c Find the value of the test statistic Round to three or more decimal places 0 d Find the p value Round to three or more decimal places e Can we conclude that the population mean adult sodium level differs from that given in the textbook H X 4 0 a X S 00 P 0 0 OSO Q G olo 0 0
