question 17

Multiple Choice

At one school, the mean amount of time that tenth-graders spend watching television each week is 18.4 hours. The principal introduces a campaign to encourage the students to watch less television.
One year later, the principal wants to perform a hypothesis test to determine whether the average amount of time spent watching television per week has decreased. Formulate the null and alternative hypotheses for the study described.

• A) \(\mathrm { H } _ { 0 } : \mu = 18.4\) hours
• \(\mathrm { H } _ { \alpha } : \mu \neq 18.4\) hours
• B) \(H _ { 0 } : \mu = 18.4\) hours
• \(\mathrm { H } _ { \alpha } : \mu < 18.4\) hours
• C) \(\mathrm { H } _ { 0 } : \mu \geq 18.4\) hours
• \(\mathrm { H } _ { \alpha } : \mu < 18.4\) hours
• D) \(\mathrm { H } _ { 0 } : \mu = 18.4\) hours
• \(\mathrm { H } _ { \alpha } : \mu > 18.4\) hours
