Marathon Runners: A researcher wants to study the average miles run per day for marathon runners. In testing the hypotheses: H0: μ\mu =25 miles vs. H1: μ\mu \neq 25 miles, a random sample of 36 marathon runners drawn from a normal population whose standard deviation is 10, produced a mean of 22.8 miles weekly. -What can we conclude at the 5% significance level regarding the null hypothesis?
