Question 23

Assume that the average age at which students graduate high school is 17.6. Exum (2002) asked 84 male students at a large Mid-Atlantic University the age at which they had their first alcoholic drink. On average, these 84 students had their first alcoholic drink at 16.54 years of age (standard deviation = 2.03). Perform a hypothesis test to determine if the average person has his/her first alcoholic drink before graduating high school (i.e., if the average age of first drink is less than 17.6). Use a 0.05 level of statistical significance.
