A former STAT 302 instructor (female) wanted to test her theory that the average number of pairs of shoes owned by female TAMU students is more than 20. To study this question, she selected a random sample of 30 female TAMU students. For each woman in the sample, the number of pairs of shoes she owned was recorded. Below is given the statistical output from her study.
