You randomly selected a sample of 300 families of 4 and found out the mean cost is US$2,750 with a standard deviation of $350. Assuming that the population is normally distributed, test, at the 10% level of significance, whether the report is underestimating the mean monthly expenses for a family of 4, by answering the following:
(a) State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test.
