In a class of 30 students, 29 of them took an exam in class and 1 student took a make-up exam the following day. The professor graded the first batch of 29 exams and found an average score of 75 points with a standard deviation of 5.9 points. The student who took the make-up the following day scored 60 points on the exam. To find the new average I added 75 to 60 then divided by 2 to get 67.5 and the question says to round two decimal places so I made it 68 and I got it incorrect.

A randomly selected group of 16 people who live in SF was taken and it was found that their average resting heart rate is 71.3 beats per minute. Assume that the standard deviation of the resting heart rate for any normal adult is 18 beats per minute. Test the claim that the average resting heart rate for people who live in SF is less than 80 beats per minute. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a BPM For credit, the hypothesis test must contain: 1) Claim in terms of the appropriate parameter (e.g. μ = 4.5 m i l e s) 2) Null and alternative hypothesis 3) Sample evidence used 4) Test stat (z or t) , p-value and direction of test.
