QuestionGood credit: The Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO) credit score is used by banks and other lenders to determine whether someone is a good credit risk. Scores range from 300 to 850 , with a score of 720 or more indicating that a person is a very good credit risk. An economist wants to determine whether the mean FICO score is lower than the cutoff of 720 . She finds that a random sample of 55 people had a mean FICO score of 685 with a standard deviation of 80 . Can the economist conclude that the mean FICO score is less than 720 ? Use the α=0.10\alpha=0.10 level of significance and the PP-value method with the TI-84 Plus calculator.

Studdy Solution
Determine the type of test.
This hypothesis test is a one-sample t-test because we are comparing the sample mean to a known value (720) and the population standard deviation is unknown.
The hypotheses and type of test have been determined. Continue to the next part for further steps.
