Problem 1:
A report states that on average Moroccan boys (12-18 years old) get a haircut 5.8 times a year. An independent researcher randomly selected 20 boys (12-18 years old) and obtained these data.
3   2   1   3   7   2   9   4   6   6
8   0   5   6   4   2   1   3   4   1

At α = 0.05, can it be concluded that the average is still 5.8 visits per year? (Hint: use the t test for hypothesis testing)

Problem 2:
A large university reports that the mean salary of parents of an entering class is $91,600. To see how this compares to his university, a president surveys 28 randomly selected families and finds that their average income is $88,500. If the sample standard deviation is $10,000, can the president conclude that there is a difference? At α = 0.10, is he correct?
(Hint: hypothesis testing when the mean is known/ z table)

Because of these circumstances, I decided to give you a light final exam. Get back to me if you need any help

Let me know what you get for problem 2. I can confirm that problem 1 is correct, I looked my solution over, it checks out.
