Suppose you want to test the claim that a population mean equals 44.
(a) State the null hypothesis.
-H0: μ > 44
-H0: μ < 44
-H0: μ = 44
-H0: μ ≠ 44
-H0: μ ≥ 44
(b) State the alternate hypothesis if you have no information regarding how the population mean might differ from 44.
-H1: μ > 44
-H1: μ < 44
-H1: μ = 44
-H1: μ ≠ 44
-H1: μ ≥ 44
(c) State the alternative hypothesis if you believe (based on experience or past studies) that the population mean may exceed 44.
-H1: μ > 44
-H1: μ < 44
-H1: μ = 44
-H1: μ ≠ 44
-H1: μ ≥ 44
(d) State the alternative hypothesis if you believe (based on experience or past studies) that the population mean may be less than 44.
-H1: μ > 44
-H1: μ < 44
-H1: μ = 44
-H1: μ ≠ 44
-H1: μ ≥ 44

It is claimed that the mean of a population equals 200. You test
this claim by taking a sample of size n = 144. The mean of the
sample is calculated to equal 205. Somehow, it is known that the
standard deviation of the population of interest is 15. Does the
evidence from the sample support the claim, or does it appear that
the population mean is not equal to 200? Test at the five percent
level.
