The appraiser wants to test the popular belief that the average sales price is $37.80 per square foot for such homes. Suppose that a random sample of six sales were selected. The sampled sales prices per square foot are $35.00, $38.10, $37.20, $29.80, $30.30, and $35.40. Assuming a normal distribution is a good model for sales, test the claim that the mean sales price per square foot differs from $37.80 at the 1% significance level.arrow_forward
