Faculty members at a large university are irritated by students’ cell phones. the faculty has found over the past several semesters that a cell phone rings in class on average 20 times per semester. a reporter for the school newspaper claims that students are more courteous with their cell phones now than in past semesters, and that the average has decreased. the reporter finds that in a random sample of 19 classes, the average number of times a cell phone rang last semester was 18.3 with a standard deviation of 2.7 calls. does the evidence support the reporters claim? assume that the number of cell phone rings is normally distributed.
