The document discusses a one-sample t-test used to compare sample data to a standard value. It provides an example comparing intelligence scores of university students to the average score of 100. The sample of 6 students had a mean of 120. Running a one-tailed t-test in SPSS, the results showed the mean score was significantly higher than 100 with t(5)=3.15, p=.02. This allows the inference that the population mean intelligence at the university is greater than the standard score of 100.
