The heights, in centimetres, of adult females in Litania have mean μ and standard deviation σ. It is known that in 2004 the values of μ and σ were 163.21 and 6.95 respectively. The government claims that the value of μ this year is greater than it was in 2004. In order to test this claim a researcher plans to carry out a hypothesis test at the 1% significance level. He records the heights of a random sample of 300 adult females in Litania this year and finds the value of the sample mean. You should assume that the value of σ after 2004 remains at 6.95.
