Null Hypothesis, H0: � ≥ 12.4
Alternative Hypothesis, H1: � < 12.4

α = 0.10

Test Statistic, t = = -2.3238
Critical t: -1.3450
P-Value: 0.0179
Reject the Null Hypothesis because the p-value is less than 0.10.
Sample provides evidence to reject the claim that drivers have an average of at least 12.4 years' experience.
