Mothers with young children often complain that they do not get enough sleep. Suppose that you obtained a measure of the typical amount of sleep of 9 mothers of children under 1 year of age and found the following duration (in hours): 6.4, 7.5, 6.9, 7.3, 7.6, 7.1, 6.5, 7.7, and 7.8 Does the mean amount of sleep from these mothers differ significantly from a hypothesized population mean of 7.7 hours sleep per night? Use a two-tailed test and a 0.05 significance level
