Question

4. Assume that the average age of offenders at prison admissions in the state of Florida is 30.

Use the data to perform a hypothesis test to determine if the average age of offenders at prison

admissions in your sample is significantly different from the average age in the offender

population in Florida. The variable that measures the average age of offenders at prison

admission is AGEADMIT. Use a .05 level of statistical significance. Run the one-sample t-

test in Excel. In your summary, please discuss the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, the

result of this hypothesis test, and interpret the result.
