In example 8-8, T 0 = 4.90, k = n-1 = 21, P-Value < 0.0005 because the t value associated with (k = 21,  = 0.0005) is 3.819.

Appendix Chart VI g, for d = 0.28, n = 22 =>  = 0.68 The probability of rejecting H 0 :  = 10 if the true mean exceeds this by 1.0 MPa (reject H 0 while H 0 is false) is approximately 1 -  = 0.32, which is too small. Therefore n = 22 is not enough. At the same chart, d = 0.28,  = 0.2 (1-  =0.8) => n = 75
