document.write( "4. 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.
