Question 208223
If a statistician wishes to determine whether there is evidence that the average family income in a community exceeds $25,000, 
a. either a one tail or two tail test could be employed with equivalent results
b. a one tail test should be utilized 
c. a two tail test should be utilized 
---------------------------------------------
The alternate hypothesis always determines the type of test.
Since you are for "exceeds 25,000" the alternate will be
Ha: u > 25000
So the test will be one-tail.
=================================
The onlyl test that is two-tail is
Ha : u is not equal to something
========================================
