Respuesta :

Answer:

The hypotheses should be used to test the manager’s claim:

[tex]H_0: \mu \leq 600[/tex]

[tex]H_a: \mu > 600[/tex]

Upper tail.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The manager of the Danvers-Hilton Resort Hotel stated that the mean guest bill for a weekend is $600 or less.

If there is no statistical significance in the test then it is know as the null which is denoted by [tex]H_0[/tex], otherwise it is known as alternative hypothesis which denoted by [tex]H_a[/tex].

[tex]H_0[/tex] : The mean guest bill for a weekend is less than or equal to $600. [tex]H_0: \mu \leq 600[/tex]

[tex]H_a[/tex] : The mean guest bill for a weekend is greater than $600. [tex]H_a: \mu > 600[/tex]

If [tex]H_a : \mu > \mu_0[/tex] then upper tail.

Hence, it is upper tail.
