Ho: mu = 108
Ha: mu < 108
Compute t = (sample mean - mu)/(standard deviation/square root(sample size))
compute P(t < computed t) for 15 DOF. If < 0.05, then reject Ho.
alternatively determine critical left-sided t for 15 DOF and alpha = 0.05. If t < t-critical value, then reject Ho.

Ho: variance = 28
Ha: variance != 28
compute chi-square = (sample size - 1) * sample variance / population variance
if computed chi-square > tabled chi-square for 0.025 and 15 or computed chi-square < tabled chi-square for 0.975 and 15, then reject Ho.
