The mean age when smokers first start is 13 years old with a population standard deviation of 2 years. A researcher thinks that smoking age has significantly changed since the invention of ENDS—electronic nicotine delivery systems. A survey of smokers of this generation was done to see if the mean age has changed. The sample of 34 smokers found that their mean starting age was 12.2 years old. Do the data support the claim at the 10% significance level? What are the correct hypotheses? H0: H1: years Based on the hypotheses, find the following: Test Statistic z = (Give answer to at least 4 decimal places) p-value = (Give answer to at least 4 decimal places) Based on the above we choose to: reject null, fail to reject null, accept alt hypothesis, or accept the null hypothesis

What are the correct hypotheses?
H0:
H1:
years
Based on the hypotheses, find the following:
Test Statistic z = (Give answer to at least 4 decimal places)
p-value = (Give answer to at least 4 decimal places)
Based on the above we choose to: reject null, fail to reject null, accept alt hypothesis, or accept the null hypothesis
The correct summary would be:
that the claim that the mean age smokers first start is different than 13.
