Question 1042526: A baseball team claims that the mean length of its games is less than 2.5 hours . State in words in symbols the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis. Then determine whether the hypothesis test is left- tailed or right- taile, or two- tailed. Explain your reasoning. Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A baseball team claims that the mean length of its games is less than 2.5 hours . State in words in symbols the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis. Then determine whether the hypothesis test is left- tailed or right- taile, or two- tailed. Explain your reasoning.
-----------
Ho: u >= 2.5
Ha: u < 2.5 (claim)
--------
Note:: Equality must ALWAYS be in Ho.
Note:: Ha ALWAYS determines the type of test
"less than" is a left tail test
"greater than" is a right tail test
"is not equal to" is a 2-tail test
--------
Note:: Your test is a left-tail test.
