The researchers claim that the number of hours the adults spent on the Internet exceeds 52 hours per month.

  1. Find the point estimator of the mean (u) for the number of hours the adults spent on the Internet per month.
  2. Construct the 90% confidence interval for u. Report the final answer
  3. Conduct a 5-step test of hypotheses to investigate the researchers claim. Use a=0.10
