Explanation / Answer

We need to calculate if stock sample mean is higher than 4.5. Thus, we need to check only upper value. Thus, right tailed test

When sample standard deviation is given – t test

We are given population std deviation = 2.5 %. Thus, Z test

                Option A

                Thus, Z = (5.38-4.5)/ (2.5/sqrt(10)) = 1.11

Sketch, Thus right of Z = 1.15 Option 4

Thus, we accept the null hypothesis

Option C
