Let x be a random variable representing the commute times of students in a college. An administrator claims that the average commute time of all students is 25 minutes. To test this claim we find that a random sample of 22 commute times from students at the college has a mean of 27.9 minutes. Prior studies at the college indicate that the population standard deviation is 9.2 minutes. We can assume that the commute times have a normal distribution. If you assume that the population mean is 25 minutes, find the P-value corresponding to the hypothesis that the mean commute time of all students at the college is different than 25 minutes (i.e. two-tail test).
