5 The acidity \(A\) (measured in pH ) of soil of a particular type has a normal distribution. The pH values of a random sample of 80 soil samples from a certain region can be summarised as
$$\Sigma a = 496 , \quad \Sigma a ^ { 2 } = 3126 .$$
Test, at the \(10 \%\) significance level, whether in this region the mean pH of soil is 6.1 .
