A person read that the average number of hours an adult sleeps on Friday night to Saturday morning was 7.1 hours. The researcher feels that college students sleep more than 7.1 hours on average. The researcher randomly selected 14 students and found that on average they slept 7.7 hours. The standard deviation of the sample is 1.3 hours. At α=0.05, is there enough evidence to say that college students sleep more than 7.1 hours on average? Assume that the population is approximately normally distributed. Use the P-value method and tables.

State the hypothesis and identify the claim
Is this a one tailed test or two tailed?

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
