9231 P41 - Nov 2023 - Q1 - 6 marks
6685

Maya is an athlete who competes in 1500 -metre races. Last summer her practice run times had mean 4.22 minutes. Over the winter she has done some intense training to try to improve her times. A random sample of 10 of her practice run times, \(x\) minutes, this summer are summarised as follows.
\(\sum x=42.05 \quad \sum x^{2}=176.83\)

Maya's new practice run times are normally distributed. She believes that on average her times have improved as a result of her training.

Test, at the \(5 \%\) significance level, whether Maya's belief is supported by the data.
