Bell Peppers

Determine whether bell peppers hang on plants at an angle.
Problem

An agricultural company interested in cutting down the time needed to harvest its crops hired a mechanical engineer to design a mechanical harvester for bell peppers. To heighten the precision of his machine, the engineer measured and recorded the angle at which peppers hang on the plant.

Perform a one-sample t-test to determine whether the data gives good evidence that peppers hang on plants at an angle (different from zero).
