A typewriter says that he can write 50 pages under 60 minutes. You selected 24 cases for these 50 pages, and found that it takes 63.2 (in minutes) and its standard deviation is 7.7 (in minutes). The test statistic for this test is equal to

a.
t = 2.04

b.
Z = 1.79

c.
t = 1.79

d.
t = 2.04

Answer: To determine the correct answer, we need to calculate the t-test statistic using the given information.

The formula for the t-test statistic for a one-sample t-test is:

t = (x - μ) / (s / sqrt(n))

where x is the sample mean, μ is the hypothesized population mean (which is not given in this question), s is the sample standard deviation, and n is the sample size.

Here, x = 63.2 minutes, s = 7.7 minutes, and n = 24 cases. We are not given a hypothesized population mean, so we cannot calculate the exact t-test statistic. However, we can use the sample mean as an estimate of the population mean for the purposes of this question.

Plugging in the values, we get:

t = (63.2 - 60) / (7.7 / sqrt(24))

t = 2.04

Therefore, the correct answer is (a) t = 2.04.
