A fish hatchery manager estimates that on average fisherpersons catch 3.5 fish each fishing trip. A random sample of 10 fisherpersons showed they caught 3.9 fish per trip, with a standard deviation of 1.7 fish per trip. Perform a test of hypothesis at a 0 .10 alpha level to determine whether or not her claim is true. Use a two tailed test of hypothesis and the critical value method.
