A 37 bag sample had a mean of 421 grams. Assume the population standard deviation is known to be 29. A level of significance of 0.05 will be used. State the null and alternative hypothesis.

Respuesta :

Answer:  [tex]H_0:\mu=421[/tex]

[tex]H_a : \mu\neq421[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

  • A null hypothesis is a type of hypothesis that is used in statistics that assumes there is no difference between particular characteristics of a population wheres the alternative hypothesis shows that there is a difference.

Given: A 37 bag sample had a mean of 421 grams.

Let [tex]\mu[/tex] be the population mean.

Then, the null hypothesis would be:

[tex]H_0:\mu=421[/tex]

whereas the alternative hypothesis would be:

[tex]H_a : \mu\neq421[/tex]
