Claim: The mean pulse rate (in beats per minute, or bpm) of adult males is equal to 69 bpm. For the random sample of 153 adult m
ales in Data Set 1 "Body Data" in Appendix B, the mean pulse rate is 69.6 bpm and the standard deviation is 11.3 bpm. Only identify the null and alternative hypothesis.
Null hypothesis is a statement that contains the population parameter to represent claim or against claim statement along with = , ≤ and ≥ signs.
Where as Alternative hypothesis is also a statement that contains the population parameter but against the null hypothesis . It contains ≠ , < and > signs.
In the given situation, the population parameter is population mean .
Claim: The mean pulse rate (in beats per minute, or bpm) of adult males is equal to 69 bpm.
