Complete question :
It is desired to check the calibration of a scale by weighing a standard 10 g weight 100 times. Let µ be the population mean reading on the scale, so that the scale is in calibration if µ = 10. A test is made of the hypotheses H0:µ = 10 versus H1:µ ≠ 10. Consider three possible conclusions: (i) The scale is in calibration, (ii) The scale is out of calibration, (iii) The scale might be in calibration.
Which of the three conclusions is best ifH0 is rejected?
Answer:
The scale is out of calibration
Step-by-step explanation:
The null hypothesis ; H0
H0 : μ = 10 ; if this hold true, then the scale is in calibration
Alternative hypothesis ; H1
H1 : μ ≠ 10 ; if this holds true, then the scale is out of calibration
If the Null hypothesis, H0 is rejected, it means that, there is significant evidence to support the alternative hypothesis ; that the scale is out of calibration.
Hence, the best conclusion is that, the scale is out of calibration.
