The sampling distribution of a statistic is normally distributed with an estimated standard error of 12 (df = 20). (a) What is the probability that you would have gotten a mean of 107 (or more extreme) if the population parameter were 100? Is this probability significant at the .05 level (two-tailed)? (b) What is the probability that you would have gotten a mean of 95 or less (one-tailed)? Is this probability significant at the .05 level? You may want to use the t Distribution calculator for this problem.

The scores of a random sample of 8 students on a physics test are as follows: 60, 62, 67, 69, 70, 72, 75, and 78.

Test to see if the sample mean is significantly different from 65 at the .05 level. Report the t and p values.
The researcher realizes that she accidentally recorded the score that should have been 76 as 67. Are these corrected scores significantly different from 65 at the .05 level?
