a golfer claims that his average golf score at the course he plays regularly is less than 90. the correct hypothesis statement for this golfer to prove his claim would be



Answer :

The correct hypothesis statement for this golfer to prove his claim would be:

[tex]H_{0} :u\geq 90[/tex]

[tex]H_{1} :u < 90[/tex]

The golfer claims that his average score is less than 90.

Therefore, the null hypothesis is the opposite of what he claims

Null hypothesis [tex]H_{0}[/tex] is average score [tex]u[/tex] is greater than or equal to 90:

[tex]u \geq 90[/tex]

[tex]H_{0} :u\geq 90[/tex]

Alternative hypothesis [tex]H_{1}[/tex] is then the opposite of null hypothesis.

Hence alternate hypothesis [tex]H_{1}[/tex] is u< 90

[tex]H_{1} :u < 90[/tex]
