4)Working Mom’s Journal" reported that the mean time a mother, with her small children, spends in at the convenience store is 7.3 minutes. A sample of 20 moms is chosen from your neighborhood, and it is found that the mean time they spend in a convenience store was 8.2 minutes with a standard deviation of 1.4 minutes. Using , test the claim that the average amount of time a mom and her children spend in a convenience store is greater than 7.3 minutes.
