The question as text
In the past, the mean length of a particular variety of worm has been 10.3cm, with standard deviation 2.6cm. Following a change in the climate, it is thought that the mean length of this variety of worm has decreased. The lengths of a random sample of 100 worms of this variety are found and the mean of this sample is found to be 9.8cm. Assuming that the standard deviation remains at 2.6cm, carry out a test at the 2% significance level of whether the mean length has decreased. [5]
