A manufacturer of cell phone batteries claims that the median life of a battery is more than 40 hours. Suppose a random sample of 75 batteries finds that 32 have a life of more than 40 hours. State the null hypothesis to test the claim. Assume that the population of all battery lives is not normally distributed. A) H₀: M_d ≥ 40 B) H₀: M_d ≠ 40 C) H₀: M_d 40 D) H₀: M_d ≤ 40
