Part 1 of 4 Victoria, an accomplished marathon runner, claims that the standard deviation for her time to run a 26.2 mile marathon is less than 17.5 minutes. To test her claim, Victoria looks up 11 of her race times (in minutes): 227.2, 233.3, 259.7, 265.8, 252.1, 228.8, 222.6, 202.9, 214.5, 237.2, 267.7 Perform a hypothesis test using a 9% level of significance to test Victoria's claim. Step 1: State the null and alternative hypotheses. Ho:0 2 17.5 Ha:o
