Respuesta :

Answer:

The null and alternative hypothesis are:

[tex]H_0: \mu=40.1\\\\H_a:\mu< 40.1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

If we want to test the claim that there is a reduction in the average work week, the null hypothesis should state:

- The alternative hypothesis should state the claim: there is a reduction in the average work week. This can be written as the true mean is less than 40.1

- The null hypothesis should state the oposite of the alternative hypothesis: that there is no significant reduction in the average work week. This can be written as the true mean is equal to 40.1.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

[tex]H_0: \mu=40.1\\\\H_a:\mu< 40.1[/tex]
