Q2: A certain university's brochure claims that the average amount of money needed for boarding and lodging in the town for a single student is $75 per week. A random sample of nine single students from this university showed the following weekly expenditures:
75, 92, 80, 84, 73, 60, 84, 91, 78
a. Is there evidence to suggest that the university's estimate is not correct? Assuming that the weekly expenditures are normally distributed, also apply the t-test to analyze the same data.
