(Round your answer to two decimal places.) % (b)What is the probability that a randomly chosen student earned an "A" (90 or above) on the test? (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.) (c) At what score was the rate of change of the probability density function for the scores a maximum?

I chose option 1. I believe that the population mean number of times that adults eat fruit with their breakfast is greater than 3 times. I spoke with 14 adults and found that they had fruit with breakfast 7,2,3,0,0,0,4,7,7,7,4,4,5,and 0 times in the past week. Test this hypothesis at the .05 significance level and assume a random sample.
