Douglas is a farmer who believes that his cow produces an average of 7 gallons of milk per day. To test this, he randomly selects 31 days and records the number of gallons the cow produces on each of those days. The sample mean is 6.9 gallons with a sample standard deviation of 0.3 gallon. If the test statistic t=−1.86 and the alternative hypothesis is Ha:μ≠7, find the p-value range for the appropriate hypothesis test.
