Question 193168: The breaking strengths of cables produced by a certain company are approximately normally distributed. The company announced that the mean breaking strength is 220 pounds. with a standard deviation of 188. A consumer protection agency claims that the actual standard deviation is higher. Suppose that the consumer agency wants to carry out a hypothesis test to see if its claim can be supported. State the null hypothesis Ho and the alternative hypothesis H1 they would use for this test.
