The Rocky Mountain district sales manager of Rath Publishing Inc., a college textbook publishing
company, claims that the sales representatives make an average of 37 sales calls per week on professors.
Several reps say that this estimate is too low. To investigate, a random sample of 40 sales representatives
reveals that the mean number of calls made last week was 39. The standard deviation of the sample is 2.6
calls. Using the .01 significance level, can we conclude that the mean number of calls per salesperson per
week is more than 37?

H0 : μ ≤ 37
H1 : μ > 37

The value of the test statistic is n/r . (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
