Question

A treatment plant that sends effluent into the river claims the mean suspended solids is never above 40 mg/l. Measurements of the suspended solids in river water on n = 14 Monday mornings yield x (x bar) = 46 and s = 9.4 mg/l. Based on data collected over a period of many years, it is reasonable to assume that the individual measurements follow a normal distribution. Do the data support or refute the treatment plant’s claim?

Could you explain to me how to do this problem? With steps, please.
