Question

Is the mean height for all adult American males between the ages of 18 and 21 now over 6 feet? Let μ represent the population mean height of all adult American males between the ages of 18 and 21. What are the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses to answer this question?A. H0: μ = 6 vs. Ha: μ > 6B. H0: μ = 6 vs. Ha: μ â  6C. H0: μ = 6 vs. Ha: μ < 6

Answer 1

Answer:

A. H0: μ = 6 vs. Ha: μ > 6

H0 : µ = 6 vs. Ha : µ > 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Null hypotheses state that there is no difference between a parameter and a specific value.

Alternative hypotheses states a specific difference between a parameter and a specific value.

Null hypotheses is represented as H0

Alternative hypotheses is represented as Ha.

From the question,

The claim is this "Is the mean height for all adult American males between the ages of 18 and 21 now over 6 feet?" The claimed statement represent the Alternative hypotheses.

So, the alternative hypotheses is:

Ha: μ > 6

While the null hypotheses is:

H0: μ = 6
