The sample has a mean of 3.6 seconds and a standard deviation of 1.1 seconds. At α=0.05 is there enough evidence to support Tesla’s claim? Complete parts​ (a) through​ (d) below. Assume the population is normally distributed. a) Identify the claim and state the null and alternative hypotheses. b) Obtain the P-value. c) Decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis. d) Interpret the decision in the context of the original claim.
