Problem 8

A university administrator claims that the average time to graduate is not greater than 4.54.5 years. A sample of 4040 recent graduates shows a mean graduation time of 4.74.7 years with a standard deviation of 0.80.8 years. At α=0.05α=0.05, is there sufficient evidence to reject the administrator's claim? Assume the population is normally distributed.
