Loretta, who turns



91


 this year, has heard that the mean systolic blood pressure among the elderly is



120


 millimeters of mercury (



mm Hg


), but she believes that the actual value is higher. She bases her belief on a recently reported study of



19


 randomly selected, elderly adults. The sample mean systolic blood pressure of the adults in the study was



130




mm Hg


, and the sample standard deviation was



20




mm Hg


.


Assume that the population of systolic blood pressures of elderly adults is normally distributed. Based on the study, at the



0.05


 level of significance, can it be concluded that



μ


, the mean systolic blood pressure among elderly adults, is greater than



120




mm Hg


?
