MY NOTES ASK YOUR TEACHER Suppose that a recent article stated that the mean time spent in jail by a first-time convicted burglar is 2.5 years. A study was then done to see if the mean time has increased in the new century. A random sample of 27 first-time convicted burglars in a recent year was picked. The mean length of time in jail from the survey was four years with a standard deviation of 1.9 years. Suppose that it is somehow known that the population standard deviation is 1.4. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the mean length of jail time has increased. Assume the distribution of the jail times is approximately normal. Calculate the following.
