Please solve a, b, and c. 

Note: Please explain and show steps for solutions especially for part c. 

3. A tire company claims the lifetimes of its tires average 50,000 miles. The standard
deviation of lifetimes is known to be 5000 miles. You sample 100 tires and will test the
hypotheses that the mean tire lifetime is 50,000 miles against the alternative that it is less.
Assume, in fact, that the true mean lifetime is 49,500.
a) State the null and alternative hypotheses. Which hypothesis is true?
b) It is decided to reject Ho if the sample mean is less than 49,400. Find the level and
power of this test.
c) If the test is made at the 5% level, what is the power?
