Question

The mean score for all NBA games during a particular season was less than 104 points per game. If a hypothesis test is performed, how should you interpret a decision that rejects the null hypothesis? a. There is sufficient evidence to reject the claim μ < 104. b. There is not sufficient evidence to reject the claim μ < 104. c. There is sufficient evidence to support the claim μ < 104. d. There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim μ < 104.

Answer 1

Answer: c. There is sufficient evidence to support the claim μ < 104.

Explanation:

Let
`\mu` be the population mean.

Given : The mean score for all NBA games during a particular season was less than 104 points per game.

It indicates for Alternative hypothesis :
`H_a:\mu<104`

If null hypothesis is rejected then it means we get sufficient evidence to support alternative hypothesis.

i.e. There is sufficient evidence to support the claim μ < 104.

Hence, the correct answer = c. There is sufficient evidence to support the claim μ < 104.
