Question

The label on a 2-quart container of orange juice states that the orange juice contains an average of 1 gram of fat or less. Answer the following questions for a hypothesis test that could be used to test the claim on the label.

Develop the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses.

Answer 1

Explanation:

The null hypothesis is the hypothesis to be tested. Therefore, the null hypothesis states that the orange juice contains an average of 1 gram of fat or less.

µ ≤ 1

The alternative hypothesis is the statement of what we believe to be true if the sample data causes us to reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, the alternative hypothesis states that the orange juice contains an average of more than 1 gram of fat

µ > 1
