Answer 1

Answer: C) H0 : μ = 250 , Ha: μ < 250

Step-by-step explanation:

The questions is incomplete. The correct question is

A restaurant advertises that its burritos weigh 250 g. A consumer advocacy group doubts this claim, and they obtain a random sample of these burritos to test if the mean weight is significantly lower than 250 g. Let u be the mean weight of the burritos at this restaurant and ĉ be the mean weight of the burritos in the sample. Which of the following is an appropriate set of hypotheses for their significance test? Choose 1 answer:

A) H0 : x = 250 , Ha : x < 250

B) H0 : x = 250 , Ha : x > 250

C) H0 : μ = 250 , Ha: μ < 250

C) H0 : μ = 250 , Ha: μ > 250

Solution:

The null hypothesis is the hypothesis that is assumed to be true. The restaurant advertises that its burritos weigh 250. This is the null hypothesis. 250 is the population mean,μ . Thus, the null hypothesis is

H0 : μ = 250

The alternative hypothesis is what the researcher expects or predicts. The consumer advocacy group tests if the mean weight is significantly lower than 250g. This is the alternative hypothesis. It is expressed as

H0 : μ < 250
