An owner of a football stadium is determining how much fertilizer is needed to keep the grass in the football stadium green. Thus, the owner collected the following data on how much fertilizer was used in 10 football stadiums from throughout the country. The unit of measurement is number of pounds per 1,000 square feet.
Field Fertilizer
1 1.35
2 1.46
3 1.51
4 1.42
5 1.46
6 1.35
7 1.59
8 1.37
9 1.33
10 1.66
Prior to the collection of these above data, the owner thought that the population mean amount of fertilizer applied to football fields was μ = 1.3 pounds per 1,000 square feet. Do these data suggest that it the actual population mean amount is greater than 1.3 pounds per 1,000 square feet? Show your work
