Question 1207007: For the situation described below, state the null and alternative hypotheses to be tested. (Enter != for ≠ as needed.)
A researcher wishes to show that a modified treatment decreases the mean time to recovery 𝜇, which is currently 6 days.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!

The null hypothesis (H₀) is that the mean time to recovery remains the same, 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 reduce recovery time.
in your case the alternative hypothesis is:
Hₐ: μ < 6
