Question

If the null hypothesis of an experiment is “The true mean weight of the geese is greater than 40 pounds” what is the alternate hypothesis?

Answer 1

Answer:

"The true mean weight of the geese is less than or equal to 40 pounds"

Step-by-step explanation:

Something (or some value) can be either equal to, greater than, or less than another thing (another value).

Null Hypothesis is what is given and Alternate is what we are testing.

Since Null Hypothesis is given that the mean weight is GREATER THAN 40 pounds, the ALTERNATE HYPOTHESIS would be the mean weight is either EQUAL TO or LESS THAN 40 pounds.

Thus, alternate hypothesis is "The true mean weight of the geese is less than or equal to 40 pounds"
