The records of a casualty insurance company show that, in the past, its clients have had a mean of 1.8 auto accidents per day with a standard deviation of 0.06. The actuaries of the company claim that the standard deviation of the number of accidents per day is no longer equal to 0.06. Suppose that we want to carry out a hypothesis test to see if there is support for the actuaries' claim. State the null hypothesis H0 and the alternative hypothesis H1 that we would use for this test.   Ho:        H1:
