• Option 2:
  • Original Claim: The average age of all patients admitted to the hospital with infectious diseases is less than 65 years of age.

   1. Explain why you made your decision including the results for your p-value and the critical value.
7. State the final conclusion in non-technical terms.

Please show your work for the construction of the test-statistic and explain your process for finding the p-value and critical value. Be sure to use the Equation Editor to format your equations.
