The Leghorn breed of chicken is marketed as being able to lay on average 280 eggs a year it's first season of laying. A small-time chicken farmer has been disappointed with the results of his leghorn hens and decides to test the claim. Working with a large group of chicken farmers, he randomly selects, tags, and monitors the egg-laying of 70 leghorns for their entire first season of laying. What alternative hypothesis would be tested to show that the marketed claim is too high?
Group of answer choices
Ha: μ =280
Ha: μ < 280
Ha: μ > 280
Answer :
we have given population mean = 280 eggs and sample size = n = 70
here null hypothesis is always equal to population mean :
Ho : μ = 280 And
Alternative Hypothesis :
H1 : H1 : μ > 280
( it is one tailed and right tailed , because claim is said to be do testing for laying eggs to high .
small chicken farmer want to compare laying eggs to the high chicken farmers for sample size n , here
small chicken farmers want to test if he increase laying eggs then it average would
be increase to more than 280 laying eggs )
