1. Use Minitab to do the calculations of the Hypothesis Test for the Population Mean (see especially p.340).  Use the Minitab Tutorials for the Hypothesis Test, and the Minitab Graph capability to find the p-value and the critical value.

2. Use the Elements of a Test of Hypothesis and the p-Values with the TISSUES Case.

3. In particular, answer the following questions :  What are the null and alternative hypotheses?  What is the difference between them?  How do we know which is which?

4. What value or values of alpha are we using, and, in your own words, what is alpha?

5. In your own words, What is meant by the "Rejection Region", what are the Rejection Regions in this Case, how do we find the Rejection Region for a given alpha?

6. In your own words, What is meant by the "Test Statistic"?  What is its value in this Case?

7. What's the difference between the p-Value and Rejection Region approaches to testing hypotheses?

8. In this Case, what are the conclusions, and what is the basis for the conclusions?  Be sure to use the variable of the problem in your conclusions.

9. Raise any questions or any obstacles you encounter.
