The Ford Motor Company claims that its 2017 model of the Ford Escape averages more than 30 miles per gallon for highway driving. To investigate this claim, what hypotheses is appropriate?

Options:

A. Null hypothesis : u>30 Alternative hypothesis :u<30

B. Null hypothesis :u>30 Alternative hypothesis :u=30

C. Null hypothesis :u=30 Alternative hypothesis :u≠30

D. Null hypothesis:u=30 Alternative hypothesis :u>30

D. Null hypothesis:u=30 Alternative hypothesis:u>30

Explanation:

The null and alternative hypotheses are hypotheses test made to decide on the value of a population parameter using sample data. They are statements that are mutually exclusive(only one can be true). Therefore the null hypothesis which is the hypothesis being tested becomes true if the alternative hypothesis(everything else that is not the null hypothesis) is false. The null hypothesis assumes that the researcher is wrong as in the above statements while the alternative hypothesis states that the researcher is right.
