Data Set 16 in Appendix B lists the measured greenhouse gas emissions from 32 different cars. The sample has a mean of 7.78 tons and a standard deviation of 1.08 tons. (The amounts are in tons per year, expressed as CO₂ equivalents.) Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that all cars have a mean greenhouse gas emission of 8.00 tons.

Assume that a simple random sample has been selected from a normally distributed population and test the given claim. Unless specified by your instructor, use either the traditional method or P-value method for testing hypotheses. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses, test statistic, P-value (or range of P-values), critical value(s), and state the final conclusion that addresses the original claim.
