Thanks to an initiative to recruit top students, an administrator at a college claims that this year's entering class must have a greater mean IQ score than tha of entering classes from previous years. The administrator tests a random sample of 11 of this year's entering students and finds that their mean IQ score is 112, with a standard deviation of 15. The college records indicate that the mean IQ score for entering students from previous years is 110. Is there enough evidence to conclude, at the 0.05 level of significance, that the population mean IQ score, μ, of this year's class is greater than that of previous years? To answer, assume that the IQ scores of this year's entering class are approximately normally distributed. Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)
