2. A mechanic is required to change car tyres. An inspector timed a random sample of 20 tyre changes and calculated the unbiased estimate of the population variance to be 6.25 minutes \({ } ^ { 2 }\). Test, at the \(5 \%\) significance level, whether or not the standard deviation of the population of times taken by the mechanic is greater than 2 minutes. State your hypotheses clearly.
