Specifically, a z-test is appropriate here because the population standard deviation is known, and the sample size is large (n = 100).

### Step 1: Define the Hypotheses

We are testing whether the new supplier's castings have significantly higher hardness than the standard mean of 20.25. The hypotheses are:
