The department of public safety has an old memo stating that the number of accidents per week at a hazardous intersection
varies according to a Normal distribution, with a mean of 2.2 and a standard deviation of 1.4. Department officials
implemented a new safety plan, heavier police patrols and new signs, to see if they could reduce the average number of
accidents at this intersection. They recorded the number of accidents per week for 52 weeks. They find that the average over
that period was two accidents per week.
What is the P-value for the test of Ho : µ = 2.2 against Ha : µ < 2.2 ?
0.1515
0.4443
