Question

Assume that a simple random sample has been selected from a normally distributed population and test the given claim. Identify the null and alternative​ hypotheses, test​ statistic, P-value, critical​ value(s), and state the final conclusion that addresses the original claim. A simple random sample of 25 filtered 100 mm cigarettes is​ obtained, and the tar content of each cigarette is measured. The sample has a mean of 19.2 mg and a standard deviation of 3.56 mg. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the mean tar content of filtered 100 mm cigarettes is less than 21.1 ​mg, which is the mean for unfiltered king size cigarettes. What do the results​ suggest, if​ anything, about the effectiveness of the​ filters?
