Testing Hypotheses. In Exercises 9-24, assume that a simple random sample has been selected and test the given claim. Unless specified by your instructor, use either the P-value method or the critical 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. 12. Discarded Plastic The weights (1b) of discarded plastic from a sample of households is listed in Data Set 23 in Appendix B, and the summary statistics are n = 62, x = 1.911 lb, and s = 1.065 lb. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the mean weight of discarded plastic from the population of households is greater than 1.800 lb. 32. Repeat Exercise 12 assuming that the population standard deviation o is known to be 1.065 lb
