Question

Express the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis in symbolic form. The owner of a football team claims that the average attendance at games is over 63,500 , and he is therefore justified in moving the team to a city with a larger stadium.

Answer 1

Answer:

$H_{0}: \mu \leq 63500\\H_A: \mu > 63500$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

The owner of a football team claims that the average attendance at games is over 63,500.

He wants to justify that the team needs to be moved to a larger stadium outside the city.

If the attendance is larger than 63,500 the team would be moved to a larger stadium and if it is less than or equal to 63,500 that it would not.

Thus, the null and alternate hypothesis will be designed as:

$H_{0}: \mu \leq 63500\\H_A: \mu > 63500$

The null hypothesis says that the average attenders is equal to or less than 63,500 and alternate supports the claim that the attenders average is greater than 63,500.
