Sarah has 47 1-year-old hens that are fed exclusively on natural scratch feed: insects, seeds, and plants that the hens obtain as they range freely around the farm. Her hens exhibit a mean egg-laying rate of $6.1 \mathrm { eggs } /$ day.
Sarah wants to determine whether the mean laying rate $\mu$ for her hens is higher than the $m$ rate for all Golden Comets. State the appropriate null and alternate hypotheses.

• A) \(H _ { 0 } : \mu < 6.1 , H _ { 1 } : \mu = 6.1\)
• B) \(H _ { 0 } : \mu > 5.6 , H _ { 1 } : \mu = 5.6\)
• C) \(H _ { 0 } : \mu = 5.6 , H _ { 1 } : \mu > 5.6\)
• D) \(H _ { 0 } : \mu = 6.1 , H _ { 1 } : \mu \neq 6.1\)
