A sample of 60 students at the University of Florida provided responses to the question “What is your age?” and are shown in the Excel file student-survey.xls. Formulate hypotheses that can be used to determine whether the mean age of a UF student (variable AG) differs significantly from 25 years old. At a level of significance of 0.05, can the null hypothesis be rejected? Show the complete 8-step procedure with an opening statement of the parameter and use both the critical value approach and p-value approach.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
i was not abl to do it through phstat, but i was able to solve it using an online statistical calculator.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the calculator i used is at https://www.graphpad.com/quickcalcs/oneSampleT1/?Format=C\r
