What is wrong with these hypotheses?
H0: x bar = 23
Ha: x bar > 23
H0 :
= 23
Ha :
> 23
Case 1: If we use
= 23 as a null hypothesis then the alternative hypothesis must
show
23 . This is a two tailed test . That is we have to consider
both
< 23 and
> 23 .
Case 2: If we use
> 23 as a alternative hypothesis then we must write null
hypothesis as H0 :
23
. This is one tail test .
