An independent consumer group published its finding that the lifetimes of electric bulbs manufactured by BIG Corporation
are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 660 days and a standard deviation of 123.5. BIG Corporation
claims that the standard deviation of its electric bulbs is less than 123.5. Suppose that we want to carry out a hypothesis
test to see if BIG Corporation's cla is correct. State the null hypothesis Ho and the alternative hypothesis H₁ that we
would use for this test.
