Question: Identify the 1) null hypothesis (Ho), 2) the alternative hypothesis (H1), and 3) either identify the sampling distribution (normal, t, chi-square) of the test statistic, or state that the methods of Chapter 8 should not be used and why. No calculations are required.

Claim: the population mean is greater than 948. Sample data: n = 100, x bar = 972, s = 10.8 The data were taken from a simple random sample collected from a population with a distribution that appears to be far from normal, where a is unknown.
