Question

2. It’s conventional wisdom that grad students drink 4 cups of coffee per day. A graduate student took a sample of 25 fellow graduate students in her statistics class, and in the sample produced a mean of 3.3 cups per day and a standard deviation of 1.75. Because of this, she believes that the average is actually less than what is commonly thought (4 cups per day). Do we believe the graduate student’s claim or the conventional wisdom? Use a significance level of .05. Show all the steps (4 steps) discussed in class.
