College-aged adults need at least 7 hours of sleep each night to stay healthy. Sleep deprivation can lead to decreased immune system function, lack of concentration, depression, and poor memory. A simple random sample of 34 college students reports the number of hours of sleep they had last night. Is there evidence that the true population means hours of sleep for college students in the population is less than the 7 hours that are recommended?   Conduct a two-tailed, one-sample t-test, with alpha set at .05. Our test statistic is 7 hours of sleep. Reported hours of sleep (n = 34): 4, 4, 6, 5, 6, 5, 5, 6, 4, 3, 6, 8, 9, 10, 8, 9, 7, 5, 4, 7, 8, 7, 5, 7, 7, 6, 7, 4, 5, 3, 7, 9, 10, 5
