The mean area µ of the several thousand apartments in a new development is advertised to be 1250 square feet. A tenant group thinks that the apartments are smaller than advertised. They hire an engineer to measure a sample of apartments to test their suspicion. The appropriate null and alternative hypotheses, H0 and Ha, for this test are

The appropriate null hypothesis is

The appropriate alternate hypothesis is

Step-by-step explanation:

At the null hypothesis, we test if the mean area is the advertised area of 1250 square feet, that is:

A tenant group thinks that the apartments are smaller than advertised.

Smaller, thus, at the alternate hypothesis, we test if the mean area is less than the advertised area of 1250 square feet, that is:

step-by-step explanation:

here's what happens:

1) the graph of f   = x^2 is shifted 2 units to the right.

2) the resulting graph is reflected in the x-axis, so that the parabola now opens down.

3) this final result is transformed up by 5 units.
