Question 444133
Are the following statements a valid pair of null and alternative hypothesis?
Ho: U> 5 and Ha: u<17?
----
No; Equality must ALWAYS be stated in Ho.
---------------------------------------------------- 
Is the following a valid null statement?
Ho : 13=11?
No; it is a contradiction : it does not make a 
statement about a population parameter.
---------------------------------------------------- 
3.) Assume that a 95% confidence interval for the mean is (13.0, 15.0). What is the result of a hypothesis test of Ho u = 1.0 at a (alpha) = 0.05?
---
Reject Ho.
