A Federal Agency believes this claim is too high and decides to randomly test 25 of the manufacturer's 4-cylinder Hybrid autos with manual shift. The Agency determines the mean average mpg for the sample to be 48 with a sample standard deviation of 4 mpg under city driving conditions. Does the sample data support the Federal Agency's claim at a = 5%? %3D
