To test the hypothesis that the population mean μ = 12.1, a sample size n = 13 yields a sample mean of 12.591 and a sample standard deviation of 0.813. Calculate the P-value and choose the correct conclusion. To test the hypothesis that the population standard deviation σ = 9.4, a sample size n = 16 yields a sample standard deviation of 5.967. Calculate the P-value and choose the correct conclusion.

Critical Thinking The $x$ distribution must be normal in order to use a chi-square distribution to test the variance. What are some methods you can use to assess whether the $x$ distribution is normal? Hint: See Chapter 6 and goodness-of-fit tests.
