The mean Length of time In jail from the survey was 3 years with a standard deviation of 1.8 years. Suppose that It Is somehow known that the population standard deviation Is 1.5. If you were conducting a hypothesis test to deteimine if the mean length of jail time has Increased, what would the null and alternative hypotheses be? The distribution of the population is normal.
