Question

In the situation described in Question 1, If we were looking for evidence that the population mean cholesterol level - oru - is too high, what would our Alternative Hypothesis be in terms of u?

A. μ=225 mg/dL
B. μ>200 mg/dL
C. μ<225 mg/dL
D. μ = 200 mg/dL

Answer 1

The correct Alternative Hypothesis for looking for evidence that the population mean cholesterol level is too high would be μ > 200 mg/dL, indicating a right-tailed test.

Therefore, the option B is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we are seeking evidence that the population mean cholesterol level (μ) is too high, the Alternative Hypothesis in terms of μ would be μ > 200 mg/dL. This is because we are looking for evidence that the mean is greater than a certain value, which indicates that we would be conducting a right-tailed test. Option B, μ>200 mg/dL, is the correct Alternative Hypothesis.
