A business school has a goal that the average number of years of work experience of its MBA applicants is more than three years. Historical data suggest that the variance has been constant at around six months, and thus, the population variance can be assumed to be know. Based on last years applications, it was found that among a sample of 47, the average number of years of work experience is 3.1. Can the school state emphatically that it is meeting its goal? Formulate the appropriate hypothesis test and conduct the test. What is the p-value associated with the appropriate hypothesis test for this problem?
