At a significance level of a = 0.05, what is the correct conclusion?
a. There is enough evidence to conclude that the mean number of hours is more than 4.75
b. There is enough evidence to conclude that the mean number of hours is more than 4.5
c. There is not enough evidence to conclude that the mean number of hours is more than 4.5
d. There is not enough evidence to conclude that the mean number of hours is more than 4.75
