Suppose you want to test the claim that a population mean equals 36.
(a) State the null hypothesis.
H0: μ > 36
H0: μ < 36
H0: μ = 36
H0: μ ≠ 36
H0: μ ≥ 36
(b) State the alternate hypothesis if you have no information
regarding how the population mean might differ from 36.
H1: μ > 36
H1: μ < 36
H1: μ = 36
H1: μ ≠ 36
H1: μ ≥ 36
(c) State the alternative hypothesis if you believe (based on
experience or past studies) that the population mean may exceed
36.
H1: μ > 36
H1: μ < 36
H1: μ = 36
H1: μ ≠ 36
H1: μ ≥ 36
(d) State the alternative hypothesis if you believe (based on
experience or past studies) that the population mean may be less
than 36.
H1: μ > 36
H1: μ < 36
H1: μ = 36
H1: μ ≠ 36
H1: μ ≥ 36
