Question

Identify the type of hypothesis test below. H0:X=10.2, Ha:X>10.2 Select the correct answer below: The hypothesis test is two-tailed. The hypothesis test is left-tailed. The hypothesis test is right-tailed.

Answer 1

Answer:

The hypothesis test is right-tailed

Step-by-step explanation:

To identify a one tailed test, the claim in the case study tests for the either of the two options of greater or less than the mean value in the null hypothesis.

While for a two tailed test, the claim always test for both options: greater and less than the mean value.

Thus given this: H0:X=10.2, Ha:X>10.2, there is only the option of > in the alternative claim thus it is a one tailed hypothesis test and right tailed.

A test with the greater than option is right tailed while that with the less than option is left tailed.
