Extracted text: A consumer advocacy group is doing a large study on car rental practices. Among other things, the consumer group would like to do a statistical test regarding the mean mnonthly mileage, u, of cars rented in the U.S. this year. The consumer group has good reason to believe that the mean monthly mileage of cars rented in the U.S. this year is greater than last year's mean, which was 2750 miles. The group plans to do a statistical test regarding the value of u. It chooses a random sample of monthly mileages and computes the mean of the sample to be 2900 miles and the standard deviation to be 700 miles. Based on this information, complete the parts below. (a) What are the null hypothesis H, and the alternative hypothesis H, that should be used for the test? H.: O
