Is the average body temperature actually less than 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit for healthy human adults? A sample of 21 healthy human adults was taken. Use these data to answer the following questions.

1. State the null and alternative hypotheses in notation. Define the notation used. (Be specific - make sure the population is included when you define the notation.)

2. Obtain the t-statistic and p-value. Report the t-statistic (with degrees of freedom) and the p-value here.

3. Interpret the p-value in the context of the problem. (Note: this is NOT asking for a conclusion. Think about the definition of the p-value to answer this question.)
