Example 1: NormOneSample

This example uses data from Devore (1982, p335), which is based on data published in the Journal of Materials . There are 15 observations. The hypothesis is tested. The extremely large t value and the correspondingly small p -value provide strong evidence to reject the null hypothesis.
