The mean operating temperature of an aircraft engine during level cruize is supposed to be 190 degrees. An airline tested one particular engine at randomly selected times. The mean temperature on these 25 tests was 193 degrees, with a standard deviation of 3 degrees. Should the pilot worry about th engine running hot? Conduct the appropriate hypothesis test at a significance level of 0.05.
