for example: According to the National Association of Home Builders, the average cost of building a home in the Northeast is $117.91 per square foot. A random sample of 36 new homes indicated that the mean cost was $122.57 and the standard deviation was $20. Can it be concluded that the mean cost differs from $117.91, using the 0.10 level of significance?
