The body weight of a healthy 3-month-old colt should be about μ = 60 kg.
(a) If you want to set up a statistical test to challenge the claim that μ = 60 kg, what would you use for the null hypothesis H0?
μ = 60 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 60 kg. What would you use for the alternate hypothesis H1?
μ < 60 kg
(c) Suppose you want to test the claim that the average weight of such a wild colt is greater than 60 kg. What would you use for the alternate hypothesis?
μ > 60 kg
(d) Suppose you want to test the claim that the average weight of such a wild colt is different from 60 kg. What would you use for the alternate hypothesis?
μ ≠ 60 kg
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?
left; right; both
