A child psychologist is investigating if the attention span of 10-year old children is greater than 25 minutes. The psychologist selects a random sample of 64 ten-year old’s and measures their attention span.  The result is a mean of ? = 25.65  Test the claim that the mean attention span of 10-year old children is greater than 25 minutes with a 5% significance level if the population standard deviation is assumed to be ? = 2.5 minutes.     State the null and the alternative hypothesis.
