The manufacturer of a popular soft drink claims that cans of this drink contain 12 ounces.  A consumer group is suspicious of this claim and believes the amount in each can is less than 12 ounces.  A random sample of 18 cans is selected and the amount in each can is measured.  The results are as follows:

11.9     11.9     12.0     11.9     12.0     11.7     11.6     11.5     11.6   

12.0     11.8     11.7     12.2     11.5     12.1     11.8     12.1     11.8

1. State the number of degrees of freedom (d.f.) that will be used to test the null hypothesis.

2.Calculate the value of the test statistic t. Express its value to two decimal places (nearest hundredth).
