Hypotheses for a Test of a Mean
A quality control engineer wants to determine if the mean weight of cereal boxes differs from the target of 368 grams. A random sample of 30 boxes yields a mean of 365.2 grams with a standard deviation of 4.8 grams. Which of the following represents the most appropriate set of hypotheses for this situation?
A
H₀: μ = 368, Ha: μ ≠ 368
B
H₀: μ ≠ 368, Ha: μ = 368
C
H₀: μ = 368, Ha: μ < 368
D
H₀: μ = 365.2, Ha: μ ≠ 368
