Question
No
3 a)

Since the 95% confidence interval include zero then we can conclude
that there is seems to be likely that there is no difference in the mean
hardness after undergo two different processes.

Decision: since Ztest (-1.4142) > -1.6449 then accept H0 and conclude
that the principal can accept her original hypothesis that the mean IQ
of students at Maharani at least 110.
