"One   way   to   measure   whether   the   trees   in   the   Wade   Tract   are   uniformly   distributed   is   to   examine   the   average   location   in   the   north-south   or   the   east-west   direction.   The   values   range   from   0   to   200,   so   if   the   trees   are   uniformly   distributed,   the   average   location   should   be   100,   and   any   differences   in   the   actual   sample   would   be   due   to   random   chance.   The   actual   sample   mean   in   the   north-south   direction   for   the   584   trees   in   the   tract   is   99.74.   A   theoretical   calculation   for   uniform   distributions   (the   details   are   beyond   the   scope   of   this   course)   gives   a   standard   deviation   of   58.   Carefully   state   the   null   and   alternative   hypotheses   in   terms   of   the   true   average   north-south   location.   Test   your   hypotheses   by   reporting   your   results   along   with   a   short   summary   of   your   conclusions."

How would I go about completing a problem like this? I'm not even sure where to start.
