Solution

The value of t in a one-sample t-test is positive if the sample mean is larger than the hypothesised population mean.

Here's a step-by-step explanation:

  1. The t-value in a one-sample t-test is calculated using the formula: t = (X̄ - μ) / (s/√n), where X̄ is the sample mean, μ is the hypothesized population mean, s is the standard deviation of the sample, and n is the sample size.

  2. If the sample mean (X̄) is larger than the hypothesized population mean (μ), then the numerator of the formula (X̄ - μ) will be positive.

  3. The denominator of the formula (s/√n) is always positive, because the standard deviation (s) is always positive and the square root of the sample size (√n) is also always positive.

  4. Therefore, if the sample mean is larger than the hypothesized population mean, the t-value will be positive.
