Dementia is the loss of the intellectual and social abilities severe

enough to interfere with judgement, behavior, and daily functioning. Alzheimer's disease is the

most common type of dementia. A sample of 21 people with early-onset dementia gave the

following data on age at diagnosis.

60 58 52 58 59 58 51 61 54 59 55

53 44 46 47 42 56 57 49 41 43

At 1% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean age

at diagnosis of all people with early-onset dementia is less than 55 years old? Assume that the

population standard deviation is 6.8 years (Use MINITAB to solve this problem).
