1. What is the difference between a null hypothesis and an alternative hypothesis? Is the null hypothesis always the same as the verbal claim or assertion that led to the test? Why or why not?
2. For each of the following pairs of null and alternative hypotheses, determine whether the pair would be appropriate for a hypothesis test. If a pair is deemed inappropriate, explain why.
a. H0: µ $ 10, H1: µ , 10
b. H0: µ 5 30, H1: µ =! 30
c. H0: µ . 90, H1: µ # 90
d. H0: µ # 75, H1: µ # 85
e. H0: }x $ 15, H1: }x , 15
f. H0: }x 5 58, H1: }x =! 58
