An automobile manufacturer claims that their jeep has a 29.6 miles/gallon (MPG) rating. An independent testing firm has been contracted to test the MPG for this jeep. After testing 16 jeeps they found a mean MPG of 29.3 with a standard deviation of 1.6 MPG. Is there sufficient evidence at the 0.05 level that the jeeps underperform the manufacturer's MPG rating? State the null and alternative hypotheses for the above scenario.
