A manufacturer claims that the calling range (in feet) of its 900-MHz cordless telephone is greater than that of its leading competitor. A sample of 15 phones from the manufacturer had a mean range of 1280 feet with a standard deviation of 21 feet. A sample of 10 similar phones from its competitor had a mean range of 1230 feet with a standard deviation of 40 feet. Do the results support the manufacturer's claim? Let μ₁ be the true mean range of the manufacturer's cordless telephone and μ₂ be the true mean range of the competitor's cordless telephone. Use a significance level of a = 0.01 for the test. Assume that the population variances are equal and that the two populations are normally distributed. Step 1 of 4: State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test.
