A simple random sample of 26 filtered 100-mm cigarettes is obtained from a normally distributed population, and the tar content of each cigarette is measured. The sample has a standard deviation of 0.18 Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the tar content of filtered100-mm cigarettes has a standard deviation different from 0.25 mg, which is the standard deviation for unfiltered king-size cigarettes. Complete parts (a) through (d) below. What are the null and alternative hypotheses? A. H0: σ≠0.25 mg H1: σ=0.25 mg B. H0: σ=0.25 mg H1: σ≠0.25 mg C. H0: σ=0.25 mg H1: σ<0.25 mg D. H0: σ>0.25 mg H1: σ≤0.25 mg Find the test statistic. χ2=nothing (Round to three decimal places as needed.) Find the P-value of the test statistic. The P-value of the test statistic is nothing. (Round to three decimal places as needed.) State the conclusion. ▼ Fail to reject Reject H0. There ▼ is is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the tar content of filtered 100-mm cigarettes has a standard deviation different from 0.25 mg.
