Please use the following information to answer 7a-7e: 

In a study examining the effect of alcohol on reaction time, Liguori and Robinson (2001) found that even moderate alcohol consumption significantly slower response time to an emergency situation in a driving simulation. In a similar study, researchers measured reaction time 30 minutes after participants consumed one 6-ounce glass of wine. Again, they used a standardized driving simulation task for which the regular population averages µ = 400 msec. The distribution of reaction times is approximately normal with σ = 40. Assume that the researcher obtained a sample mean of = 422 for the = 25 participants in the study.

Does the data provide evidence that the alcohol significantly increased (slowed) reaction time? Use a one-tailed test with α = .05.
