Question

In March 2007, Business Week reported that at the top 50 business schools, students studied an average of 14.6 hours. You wonder whether the amount UMSL students study is different from this 14.6 hour benchmark. Set up the hypotheses used in this situation.

Answer 1

Answer:

The hypotheses used in this situation

$H_0:\mu = 14.6$

$H_a:\mu \neq 14.6$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that  Business Week reported that at the top 50 business schools, students studied an average of 14.6 hours.

Mean = $\mu = 14.6$

Claim : The amount UMSL students study is different from this 14.6 hour benchmark.

The hypotheses used in this situation

$H_0:\mu = 14.6$

$H_a:\mu \neq 14.6$
