Question 184258: Hi this is not from a book, I wanted to know if I am on the right track?:
A shoe store owner is interested in determining if the average weight of a package of shoes sold in the store weighs two pounds. An appropriate alternate hypothesis for this study is
a. H1: (Mu) = 2 lb
b. H1: (Mu) not equal to 2 lb
c. H1: (Mu) > 2 lb
d. H1: (Mu) < 2 lb
*I was thinking (d.), would that be the right answer?
If it isn't why not, and which one would be the most appropriate?
Thank you

You can put this solution on YOUR website! A shoe store owner is interested in determining if the average weight of a package of shoes sold in the store weighs two pounds. An appropriate alternate hypothesis for this study is
a. H1: (Mu) = 2 lb
b. H1: (Mu) not equal to 2 lb
c. H1: (Mu) > 2 lb
d. H1: (Mu) < 2 lb

---------
d would be the null hypothesis because that is what is commonly believed.
b would be the alternate hypothesis as it is the altenate to u = 2.
==============
Ho: u = 2
Ha: u is not equal to 2
