Question

The owner of a football team claims that the average attendance at games is over 63,500, and he is therefore justified in moving the team to a city with a larger stadium. A) $\begin{array}{l} H_{0}: \mu<63,500 \ H_{1}: \mu \geq 63,500 \end{array}$ B) $\begin{array}{l} H_{0}: \mu=63,500 \ H_{1}: \mu>63,500 \end{array}$ C) $\begin{array}{l} \mathrm{H}_{0}: \mu=63,500 \ \mathrm{H}_{1}: \mu<63,500 \end{array}$ D) $\begin{array}{l} \mathrm{H}_{0}: \mu>63,500 \ \mathrm{H}_{1}: \mu \leq 63,500 \end{array}$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The null hypothesis $H_0$ should state that the average attendance is equal to 63,500, while the alternative hypothesis $H_1$ should state that the average attendance is greater than 63,500, as the owner claims it is over 63,500.
