The mean weight of male nurses working at a local hospital is equal to 183 lbs. Express the null and alternative hypotheses in symbolic form for this claim.

Question

H0:mu
H1:mu

Use the following codes to enter the following symbols:

enter >=

enter <=

enter !=

Answer 1

To express the null and alternative hypotheses for the claim that the mean weight of male nurses working at a local hospital is equal to 183 lbs, we can use the following symbolic forms:

• Null hypothesis (H0): \( \mu = 183 \)
• Alternative hypothesis (H1): \( \mu \neq 183 \)

In terms of the provided codes, it can be written as:

• H0: mu = 183 (as is)
• H1: mu != 183

So the final result would be:

H0: mu = 183
H1: mu != 183
