1. State your null and alternative hypothesis

2. Identify the test statistic relevant to the test and determine its sampling distribution

3. Compute the appropriate descriptive statistics (Sample Mean x-bar, Sample Standard Deviation s, Sample Variance, s^2, Sample proportion P^, Sample size n, degrees of freedom) needed to calculate the test statistic.

4. Find the value of the test statistic and then find the P-value and critical value for a 95% confidence level

5. Discuss the type of hypothesis test: left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed and give the critical region(s)

6. Interpret the test statistic using both the P-value and critical value methods

7. Construct a 95% confidence interval.
