The test statistic is calculated as the difference between the sample mean and the hypothesized mean, divided by the standard error of the mean. In this case, the sample mean is 1.2, the hypothesized mean is 1, and the standard error of the mean is 0.1. Therefore, the test statistic is (1.2 - 1) / 0.1 = 1.199.
