We would like to conduct a hypothesis test at the 2% level of significance to determine whether the true mean pH level in a lake differs from 7.0. Lake pH levels are known to follow a normal distribution. We take 15 water samples from random locations in the lake. For these samples, the mean pH level is 7.3 and the standard deviation is 0.37. Using the critical value approach, the decision rule would be to reject H0 if the test statistic is:
