Question

In a study investigating a link between walking and improved​ health, researchers reported that adults walked an average of 873 minutes in the past month for the purpose of health or recreation. Specify the null and alternative hypotheses for testing whether the true average number of minutes in the past month that adults walked for the purpose of health or recreation is lower than 873 minutes.

Answer 1

Answer:

$H_0:\mu =873\\\\H_a: \mu$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : In a study investigating a link between walking and improved​ health, researchers reported that adults walked an average of 873 minutes in the past month for the purpose of health or recreation.

Claim : The true average number of minutes in the past month that adults walked for the purpose of health or recreation is lower than 873 minutes.

i.e. $\mu$

We know that the null hypothesis contains equal sign , then the set of hypothesis for the given situation will be :-

$H_0:\mu =873\\\\H_a: \mu$
