Which of the following illustrates the correct expression of the alternate hypothesis that customers of McDonald's consume more than the national average of 36 hamburgers each year? A) H₀: π ≤ 36 B) H_A: π > 36 C) H₀: µ = 36 D) H_A: µ ≠ 36 E) H_A: µ > 36

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct expression for the alternate hypothesis is to use the symbol µ to represent the population mean of hamburgers consumed by McDonald's customers. The > symbol is used to indicate that the population mean is greater than the national average of 36 hamburgers per year. Therefore choice E, H_A: µ > 36, is the correct expression.
