Question

The body weight of a healthy 3-month-old colt should be about ? = 76 kg.

(a) If you want to set up a statistical test to challenge the claim that ? = 76 kg, what would you use for the null hypothesis
H0?

? > 76 kg? < 76 kg     ? = 76 kg? ≠ 76 kg

(b) In Nevada, there are many herds of wild horses. Suppose you want to test the claim that the average weight of a wild Nevada colt (3 months old) is less than 76 kg. What would you use for the alternate hypothesis
H1?

? > 76 kg? < 76 kg     ? = 76 kg? ≠ 76 kg

(c) Suppose you want to test the claim that the average weight of such a wild colt is greater than 76 kg. What would you use for the alternate hypothesis?
? > 76 kg? < 76 kg     ? = 76 kg? ≠ 76 kg

(d) Suppose you want to test the claim that the average weight of such a wild colt is different from 76 kg. What would you use for the alternate hypothesis?
? > 76 kg? < 76 kg     ? = 76 kg? ≠ 76 kg 

(e) For each of the tests in parts (b), (c), and (d), respectively, would the area corresponding to the P-value be on the left, on the right, or on both sides of the mean?
