In the paper €œReassessment of TL Age Estimates of Burnt Flint from the Paleolithic Site of Tabun Cave, Israel€ (Journal of Human Evolution, Vol. 45, Issue 5, pp. 401€“409), N. Mercier and H. Valladas discussed the re-dating of artifacts and human remains found at Tabun Cave by using new methodological improvements. A random sample of 18 excavated pieces yielded the following new thermo luminescence (TL) ages.

Decide whether applying the t-test to perform a hypothesis test for the population mean in question appears reasonable. Explain your answers.
