Which of the following is a valid one-sample hypothesis test? A) H0: population parameter ≠ constant vs. H1: population parameter = constant B) H0: population parameter constant vs. H1: population parameter ≤ constant C) H0: population parameter

Question

Which of the following is a valid one-sample hypothesis test?
A) H0: population parameter ≠ constant vs. H1: population parameter = constant
B) H0: population parameter > constant vs. H1: population parameter ≤ constant
C) H0: population parameter < constant vs. H1: population parameter ≥ constant
D) H0: population parameter = constant vs. H1: population parameter ≠ constant

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct choice is D, where H0 (null hypothesis) states that the population parameter equals a constant, and H1 (alternative hypothesis) states that the population parameter does not equal that constant. This setup allows for a two-sided test, which is a common format for hypothesis testing.
