Question

In an effort to understand how much garbage is being discarded in households in Arizona, researchers found the total weight of garbage for one week discarded by 62 randomly selected households in Arizona. The dataset garbage.csv contains data on many variables, of which we will use total weight for this assignment. Researchers want to determine if the total weekly garbage weight for Arizona households is less than 32 lb, which is the maximum amount of weight per can that current waste removal systems can handle.

In notation, state the null and alternative hypotheses. In the context of the problem, define the parameter used in the notation. For notation, you can use mu instead of μ, x-bar instead of x, and sigma instead of σ if needed.
