  c. Compare the sample mean to the population mean and compare the difference to the criterion.
  d. Compare the sample mean to the population standard deviation and look up its probability.

Question 2

  b. the probability is high that our decision is wrong.
  c. we cannot know the probability of our decision being right or wrong.
