For the following pairs of assertions, indicate which do not
comply with our rules for setting up hypotheses and why (the
subscripts 1 and 2 differentiate between quantities for two
different populations or samples): (a) H0: μ = 100, Ha: μ > 100
These hypotheses comply with our rules. H0 cannot include equality,
so these hypotheses are not in compliance. Each μ is a statistic,
so these hypotheses do not comply with our rules. The asserted
value in H0 should not appear in Ha, so these hypotheses are not in
compliance. (b) H0: σ = 20, Ha: σ ≤ 20 These hypotheses comply with
our rules. Ha cannot include equality, so these hypotheses are not
in compliance. Each σ is a statistic, so these hypotheses do not
comply with our rules. The asserted value in H0 should not appear
in Ha, so these hypotheses are not in compliance. (c) H0: p ≠ 0.25,
Ha: p = 0.25 These hypotheses comply with our rules. Ha cannot
include equality, so these hypotheses are not in compliance. Each p
is a statistic, so these hypotheses do not comply with our rules.
The asserted value in H0 should not appear in Ha, so these
hypotheses are not in compliance. (d) H0: μ1 − μ2 = 25, Ha: μ1 − μ2
> 100 These hypotheses comply with our rules. H0 cannot include
equality, so these hypotheses are not in compliance. Each μ is a
statistic, so these hypotheses do not comply with our rules. The
asserted value in H0 should also appear in Ha, so these hypotheses
are not in compliance. (e) H0: S12 = S22, Ha: S12 ≠ S22 These
hypotheses comply with our rules. H0 cannot include equality, so
these hypotheses are not in compliance. Each S is a statistic, so
these hypotheses do not comply with our rules. The asserted value
in H0 should not appear in Ha, so these hypotheses are not in
compliance. (f) H0: μ = 120, Ha: μ = 150 These hypotheses comply
with our rules. Ha cannot include equality, so these hypotheses are
not in compliance. Each μ is a statistic, so these hypotheses do
not comply with our rules. If μ appears in H0, then it should not
appear in Ha, so these hypotheses are not in compliance. (g) H0:
σ1/σ2 = 1, Ha: σ1/σ2 ≠ 1 These hypotheses comply with our rules. H0
cannot include equality, so these hypotheses are not in compliance.
Each σ is a statistic, so these hypotheses do not comply with our
rules. The asserted value in H0 should not appear in Ha, so these
hypotheses are not in compliance. (h) H0: p1 − p2 = −0.1, Ha: p1 −
p2 < −0.1 These hypotheses comply with our rules. H0 cannot
include equality, so these hypotheses are not in compliance. Each p
is a statistic, so these hypotheses do not comply with our rules.
The asserted value in H0 should not appear in Ha, so these
hypotheses are not in compliance.
