  2. Hypothesis Test for a Mean: Pop. Stdev. Known = the average length of an average work week for the internet start-up company. Distribution for the Test: Student-t: t11 degrees of freedom = df = 12 – 1 = 11

  3. Hypothesis Test for a Mean: Pop. Stdev. Known USE A TTEST. Test statistic: t = -2.31 Standardized score, t-score, for which is calculated from the data. p-value: 0.0208
