Records on a fleet of trucks reveal that the average life of a set of spark plugs is normally distributed with a mean of 22,100 miles. The fleet owner purchased 18 sets and found that the sample average life was 23,400 miles; the sample standard deviation was 1,412 miles. To decide if the sample data support the company records that the spark plugs average is LESS THAN 22,100 miles, state your decision in terms of the 6 steps. Use a 0.025 level of significance. 1, define h0 and h1 2. define Alpha 3. which Test, T or Z?
