Hi,

Ho: There is no difference in statistics texts.

Type I error would be to  "incorrectly reject" the null hypothesis in favor of

the alternative, implying there is a difference in statistics texts

Type II error is to "falsely accept" the null hypothesis and implying

There is no difference in statistics texts when there is.



Write a correct null and alternative hypothesis that tests the claim that the

 mean distance a student commutes to campus is no less than 8.2 miles.

Note: If the original claim includes equality (<=, =, or >=), it is the null hypothesis.

Ho: u ≥ 8.2mi

Ha: u < 8.2mi
