The null hypothesis (H₀) is that the mean time to recovery the , despite the modified treatment.

in your case the null hypothesis is:
H₀: μ = 6
The alternative hypothesis (Hₐ) represents the researcher's belief that the modified treatment will recovery time.
in your case the alternative hypothesis is:
Hₐ: μ < 6
