In a study of the thermal inertial properties of aerated concrete used as building material, average interior temperatures were investigated. These temperatures are known to have an approximately normal distribution. The claim is the average interior temperature is 22.5 degrees. A consumer advocate believes this temperature is in fact less than 22.5 degreess. To this end, he collects a sample of 15 measurements and finds the average temperature of the sample to be 20.9 degrees with standard deviation of 3.5...
