Answer:

$H_o:\mu = 26$

$H_a:\mu < 26$

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

$H_a:\mu < 26$
