An automobile manufacturer claims that their van has a 50.750.7 miles/gallon (MPG) rating. An independent testing firm has been contracted to test the MPG for this van. After testing 2323 vans they found a mean MPG of 50.950.9 with a standard deviation of 2.02.0. Is there sufficient evidence at the 0.10.1 level that the vans outperform the manufacturer's MPG rating? Assume the population distribution is approximately normal. Step 1 of 5 :   State the null and alternative hypotheses.
