Question

Give the null and alternative hypotheses in symbolic form that would be used in a hypothesis test of the following claim:
The mean time between "clicks" of the second hand on a particular clock is not 1 second.
a. H0: = 1 vs. H1: 1
b. H0: p = 1 vs. H1: p 1
c. H0: = 1 vs. H1:
d. none of these

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypothesis is usually the default statement. The alternative is the opposite of the null and usually tested against the null hypothesis

In this case study,

The null hypothesis in would be that the mean time between clicks of the second hand on a particular clock is 1 second. In symbolic form it would be u = 1

The alternative hypothesis would be that the mean time between clicks of the second hand on a particular clock is 1 not second. In symbolic form, it would be: u =/ 1
