A random sample of 50 students was asked to estimate how much money they spent on textbooks in a year. The sample skewness of these amounts was found to be 0.83 and the sample kurtosis was 3.98. Test at the 10% level the null hypothesis that the population dis- tribution of amounts spent is normal.
