Discuss the below:
In order to monitor the ecological health of the Florida Everglades, various measurements are recorded at different times. The bottom temperatures are recorded at the Garfield Bight station and a mean temperature of 30.4°C is obtained for the temperatures recorded on 61 different days. Assuming that σ = 1.7°C, test the claim that the mean population temperature is greater than 30.0°C. Use a 5% level of significance.
1. State the Null Hypothesis and the Alternative Hypothesis.
2. Determine the test statistic.
3. Determine the P-value.
4. Make a decision regarding the hypotheses based on the P-value and the Level of Significance.
