A teacher claims that his coffee cools to a temperature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit in 5 minutes after he brews it at home in his single-cup coffee brewer. To further investigate this claim, the teacher measures how long it takes for his coffee to cool to 100 degrees for each of the next 30 days. He would like to carry out a t-test for one mean to determine if there is convincing evidence that the true mean amount of time it takes for his coffee to cool to 100 degrees is less than 5 minutes. Are the conditions for inference met?
