An engineer has designed a valve that will regulate water pressure on an automobile engine. The valve was tested on 130 engines and the mean pressure was 5.2 lbs/square inch. Assume the standard deviation is known to be 0.8. If the valve was designed to produce a mean pressure of 5.4 lbs/square inch, is there sufficient evidence at the 0.1 level that the valve performs below the specifications? State the null and alternative hypotheses for the above scenario.
