On a college entrance exam a total of 25 minutes is allotted for students to answer 20 math questions without the use of a calculator. A guidance counselor would like to know if the students in his school are prepared to complete this portion of the exam in the time allotted. To investigate, the counselor selects a random sample of 35 students and administers this portion of the test. The students are instructed to turn in their test as soon as they have completed the questions. The counselor would like to know if there is convincing evidence that the true mean amount of time needed for all students of this school to complete this portion of the test is less than 25 minutes and therefore tests the hypotheses ratio of cap h sub 0 to mu is equal to 25 versus ratio of cap h sub A to mu is less than 25 , where mu is equal to the true mean amount of time needed by students at this school to complete this portion of the exam. The power of this test to reject the null hypothesis when mu is equal to 24 point 5 is 0 point 7 3 5 What could the counselor have done to increase the power of this test?
