question 35

Multiple Choice

A sample of 50 chewable vitamin tablets have a sample mean of 258 milligrams of vitamin C. Nutritionists want to perform a hypothesis test to determine how strong the evidence is that the mean mass of vitamin C per tablet exceeds 260 milligrams. State the appropriate null and alternate hypotheses.

• A) \(H _ { 0 } : \mu < 258 , H _ { 1 } : \mu > 258\)
• B) \(H _ { 0 } : \mu > 258 , H _ { 1 } : \mu = 258\)
• C) \(H _ { 0 } : \mu = 260 , H _ { 1 } : \mu > 260\)
• D) \(H _ { 0 } : \mu = 260 , H _ { 1 } : \mu \neq 260\)
