The factory building manager at Delectable Delights, Jason Short, is concerned that the new contractor he hired is taking too long to replace defective lights in the factory workspace. He would like to perform a hypothesis test to determine if the replacement time for the lights under the new contractor is in fact longer than the replacement time under the previous contractor, which was 3.2 days on average. He selects a random sample of 12 service calls to replace defective lights and obtains the following times to replacement (in days). Use a significance level of 0.05.

6.2 7.1 5.4 5.5 7.5 2.6 4.3 2.9 3.7 0.7 5.6 1.7
