Question 429958: Which hypothesis (H0 or Ha) is the "hoped for" or "suspected" hypothesis. Why?
Answer by stanbon(75887)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Which hypothesis (H0 or Ha) is the "hoped for" or "suspected" hypothesis. Why?
------
That is not an answerable question.
Either statement can be the "claim" for the problem.
The only condition you MUST meet is that
equality MUST be part of Ho.
-----
Maybe you hope for equality or maybe you don't,
but equality MUST be part of Ho; it must NOT
appear in Ha.
---
Possible Ho's are:
u = #
u <= #
u >= #
--------
"Hoped for" has nothing to do with determining
Ho and Ha.
If your text says something else, it is wrong.
