Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A car manufacturer advertises that its new subcompact models get 47 mpg. If
A
H0 = 47 Ha = 47
B
H0 = 47 Ha > 47
C
H0 = 47 Ha < 47
D
H0 = 47 Ha ≠ 47
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Interpret the decision in the context of the original claim. If the claim is the null hypothesis and H₀ is rejected, then there is enough evidence to reject the claim. If H₀ is not rejected, then there is not enough evidence to reject the claim.

Detailed explanation-2: -The null and alternative hypotheses are two competing claims that researchers weigh evidence for and against using a statistical test: Null hypothesis (H0): There’s no effect in the population. Alternative hypothesis (Ha or H1): There’s an effect in the population.

Detailed explanation-3: -Step 1: State your null and alternate hypothesis. Step 2: Collect data. Step 3: Perform a statistical test. Step 4: Decide whether to reject or fail to reject your null hypothesis. Step 5: Present your findings. 08-Nov-2019
