A study was to be undertaken to determine if a particular training program would improve physical fitness. An SRS of 31 university students was selected to be enrolled in the fitness program. One important measure of fitness is maximum oxygen uptake. Measurements of oxygen uptake in untrained individuals are known to follow a Normal distribution with a mean of  45 ml/kg/min. The researchers wished to determine if there was evidence that their sample of students differed from the general population of untrained subjects. The measurements made on the subjects coming into this study produced a mean of 47.4 with a standard deviation of s = 5.3. Test at 0.05 alpha level showing understanding on how problem was solved.
