An engineer has designed a valve that will regulate water pressure on an automobile engine. The engineer designed the valve such that it would produce a mean pressure of 7.0 pounds/square inch. The valve was tested on 22 engines and the mean pressure was 6.7 pounds/square inch with a standard deviation of 0.7. Is there evidence at the 0.05 level that the valve does not perform to the specifications? Assume the population distribution is approximately normal. Step 2 of 5: Find the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to three decimal places.
