A manual states that in order to be a hit, a song must be no longer than three minutes and ten seconds (or 190 seconds). A simple random sample of 45 current hit songs results in a mean length of 255.0 sec. Assume the population standard deviation of song lengths is 53.5 sec. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the sample is from a population of songs with a mean greater than 190 sec. What do these results suggest about the advice given in the manual?
