Community college instructors' salaries in one state are very low, so low that educators in that state regularly complain about their compensation. The national mean is $54,977, but instructors from Mississippi claim that the mean in their state is significantly lower. They survey a simple random sample of 33 colleges in the state and calculate a mean salary of $50,535 with a standard deviation of $10,835. Test the instructors' claim at the 0.025 level of significance.   Step 1 of 3 :   State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test.
