Question

If the null hypothesis of an experiment is "The true mean weight of the piglets is at least 39lbs" what is the alternate hypothesis?





if its correct will give brainliest

Answer 1

Answer:

Alternate Hypothesis: The true weight of the piglets is greater than or equal to 39 lbs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hypothesis testing is more like a binary process in which only one (Either Null or Alternate Hypothesis can be true) and we have to infer that whether our Null hypothesis is true or false.

The hypothesis testing involves following 4 general steps:

1. State the 2 hypothesis by making sure that they don't overlap with each other
2. Develop the analysis plan or any statistical method to know whether the Null hypothesis should be accepted or rejected
3. Execute the developed plan and analyze the data
4. In the end, after analyzing the data accept or reject the null hypothesis

As in the given question, if a number (X) is less than another number (Y) then it can't be less, equal or greater simultaneously.
