A report states the average rent for office space in a urban area is $17.75 per square foot.  A real estate agent claims this average is incorrect.    The agent selected a sample of 23 rental properties and found their mean to be $19.25 per square foot, with a sample standard deviation of $3.45 per square foot.  Test the claim at alpha = 0.10.  Use the P-value method to evaluate/compare with the given alpha (0.10).  For question #18, give your calculated value for "t", rounding to the hundredths place.   For question #19 (multiple choice), choose between what two areas your calculated t-value (when converted to P-value) falls.  For question #20, answer True or False with regard to rejecting the null hypothesis.  Hint:  this is a two-tailed test!!
