Question

State the null and alternative hypothesis: The average score of 40 high school basketball games is less than 26

Answer 1

`H_o:\mu = 26`

`H_a:\mu < 26`

Explanation:

Given

Average score is less than 26

Required

Determine the null and alternate hypothesis

Since the average is said to be less than 26; that represents the alternate hypothesis.

The null hypothesis will be:

`Average = 26`

So, we have:

`H_o:\mu = 26`

And the alternate hypothesis

`H_a:\mu < 26`
