I don’t know how to handle this Statistics question and need guidance.

Too much TV? A father is concerned that his teenage son is watching too much television each day, since his
son watches an average of 2 hours per day. His son says that his TV habits are no different than those of his
friends. Since this father has taken a stats class, he knows that he can actually test to see whether or not his son is
watching more TV than his peers. The father collects a random sample of television
watching times from boys at his son’s high school and gets the following data:
1.9 2.3 2.2 1.9 1.6 2.6 1.4 2.0 2.0 2.2
Is the father right? That is, is there evidence that other boys average less than 2 hours of television per
day? Conduct a hypothesis test, making sure to state your conclusions in the context of the problem.
1) What are the null and alternative hypothese?
2) What is the test statistic for this casr?
3) What is the P-value for this problem?
4) Using the significance level of .05, what is your conclusion?
