TopicHypothesis test of a normal distribution

2 A coffee machine used in a bar is claimed by the manager to dispense 170 ml of coffee per cup on average. A customer believes that the average amount of coffee dispensed is less than 170 ml . She measures the amount of coffee in 6 randomly chosen cups. The results, in ml , are as follows. $$\begin{array} { l l l l l l } 167 & 171 & 164 & 169 & 168 & 166 \end{array}$$ Assuming a relevant normal distribution, test the manager's claim at the 5\% significance level.
