Question: A recent study reported that college students study for an average of four hours per day. You believe this figure is too large & you decide to conduct your own test. In a random sample of fifty students you find that the mean is 3.7 hours of study. The standard deviation of the population is 1.05 hours. Can you conclude that the original study is flawed & that students study for less than four hours per day? Use the .05 significance level. Find the p-value & explain its meaning.
