Determine test statistics and p value 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Introduction:

Denote μ as the true length of one minute as estimated by the students.

Since it is of interest to know whether the students give a good estimate of the length of one minute (that is, 60 seconds), the null and alternative hypotheses are:

H0: μ = 60.

H1: μ ≠ 60.

Since the alternative is of the not-equal-to type, the test is two-tailed.
