To test whether the mean length is signficantly less than a given value.

During recent seasons, Major League Baseball has been criticized for the length of the games. A report indicated that the average game lasts 3 hours and 30 minutes. A sample of 17 games revealed the following times to completion. (Note that the minutes have been changed to fractions of hours, so that a game that lasted 2 hours and 24 minutes is reported at 2.40 hours.

2.98	2.4	2.7	2.25	3.23	3.17	2.93	3.18	2.8
2.38	3.75	3.2	3.27	2.52	2.58	4.45	2.45
