GreenBeam Ltd. claims that its compact fluorescent bulbs average no more than 3.66 mg of mercury. A sample of 45 bulbs shows a mean of 3.75 mg of mercury.

(a)

State the hypotheses for a right-tailed test, using GreenBeams claim as the null hypothesis about the mean.

a. H0: 3.66 mg vs. H1: < 3.66 mg
b. H0: 3.66 mg vs. H1: > 3.66 mg
c. H0: = 3.66 mg vs. H1: 3.66 mg

c

(b)

Assuming a known standard deviation of 0.26 mg, calculate the z test statistic to test the manufacturers claim. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
