Hypothesis testing: For the following 10 exercises, answer each question.

A survey in the New York Times Almanac finds the mean commute time (one way) is 25.4 minutes for the 15 largest US cities. The Austin, TX, chamber of commerce feels that Austin’s commute time is less and wants to publicize this fact. The mean for 25 randomly selected commuters is 22.1 minutes with a standard deviation of 5.3 minutes. At the α = 0.10 level, is the Austin, TX, commute significantly less than the mean commute time for the 15 largest U.S. cities?

Its source prints no answer for this problem, so there's nothing to check against.
