Each of the following pairs of null and alternative hypothesis has some error. Identify the error and explain how to fix it.
H0: The average ‘freshness’ of an edible food arrangement is at least 3 hours |
H1: The average ‘freshness’ of an edible food arrangement is not 3 hours |
H0: The average ‘freshness’ of an edible food arrangement is more than 3 hours |
H1: The average ‘freshness’ of an edible food arrangement is less than 3 hours |
H0: The average number of faulty watches per 1,000 watches is less than 4 |
H1: The average number of faulty watches per 1,000 watches is at least 4 |
H0: The average number of faulty watches per 1,000 watches is 4 |
H1: The average number of faulty watches per 1,000 watches is more than 4 |
H0: The average ‘freshness’ of an edible food arrangement is at least 3 hours |
H1: The average ‘freshness’ of an edible food arrangement is less than 3 hours |
H0: The average ‘freshness’ of an edible food arrangement is at least 3 hours |
H1: The average ‘freshness’ of an edible food arrangement is less than 3 hours |
H0: The average number of faulty watches per 1,000 watches is at least 4 |
H1: The average number of faulty watches per 1,000 watches is less than 4 |
H0: The average number of faulty watches per 1,000 watches is 4 |
H1: The average number of faulty watches per 1,000 watches is not equal to 4 |
Explanation:
Always keep in mind that the null hypothesis H0 contains ‘=’(equal to), ‘≤’(less than or equal to), or ‘≥’(greater than or equal to) only. Null hypothesis always contain ‘equal to’ in the statement. Alternative hypothesis only contain three types of inequalities such ‘<’ (less than), ‘>’(greater than), or ‘≠’(not equal to). So, according to this, above statements were changed.
