Identify the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, P-value or critical value(s), conclusion
about the null hypothesis, and final conclusion that addresses the original claim. Use the P-value method unless your instructor specifies otherwise.
GarbageThe totals of the individual weights of garbage discarded by 62 households in one week have a mean of 27.443 lb (based on Data Set 22 in Appendix B). Assume that the standard deviation of the weights is 12.458 lb. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the population of households has a mean less than 30 lb, which is the maximum amount that can be handled by the current waste removal system. Is there any cause for concern?
