A county is considering raising the speed limit on a road because they claim that the mean speed of vehicles is greater than 40 mi/hr. A random sample of 15 vehicles has a mean speed of 43 mil/hr and a standard deviation of 4.4 mi/hr.   Assume that speeds follow a normal distribution. What statistical test should be used to test the claim?
