A null hypothesis often involves a statement of equality (e.g., =, ≤, ≥) about a population parameter. In this case, $H_0: \mu = 6$ is a valid null hypothesis because it asserts that the population mean ($\mu$) is equal to a specific value (6), which is a comparison of a parameter to a value.

Is the statement H0:μ=6 a valid null hypothesis? \text { Is the statement } H _ { 0 } : \mu = 6 \text { a valid null hypothesis? } Is the statement H0​:μ=6 a valid null hypothesis?
