An engineer has designed a valve that will regulate water pressure on an automobile engine. The valve was tested on 110 engines and the mean pressure was 4.6 pounds/square inch (psi). Assume the population standard deviation is 0.8. If the valve was designed to produce a mean pressure of 4.5 psi, is there sufficient evidence at the 0.02 level that the valve does not perform to the specifications? Step 1 of 6: State the null and alternative hypotheses.
