Answer to Question 1

Test statistic: t = -5.05. Critical values: t = -2.567. Reject . There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean is less than 10 minutes.

Answer to Question 2

Test statistic: t = 0.89. Critical values: t = 2.228. Fail to reject . There is not sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the mean is 18.7 months.
