Suppose you want to test the claim that a population mean equals 42.

(a)State the null hypothesis. H₀: > 42

H₀: < 42

H₀: = 42

H₀: 42

H₀: 42

(b)State the alternate hypothesis if you have no information regarding how the population mean might differ from 42. H₁: > 42

H₁: < 42

H₁: = 42

H₁: 42

H₁: 42

(c)State the alternative hypothesis if you believe (based on experience or past studies) that the population mean may exceed 42. H₁: > 42

H₁: < 42

H₁: = 42

H₁: 42

H₁: 42

(d)State the alternative hypothesis if you believe (based on experience or past studies) that the population mean may be less than 42. H₁: > 42

H₁: < 42

H₁: = 42

H₁: 42

H₁: 42
