Joe hypothesizes that the average age of the population of Florida is less than 37 years. He records a sample mean equal to 37 and states the hypothesis as μ = 37 vs μ < 37. What type of test should Joe do?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The test Joe should do is a Left-tailed test

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The null hypothesis is [tex]H_o : \mu = 37[/tex]

     The alternative  is [tex]H_a : \mu < 37[/tex]

Here looking at the alternative hypothesis we see that [tex]\mu < 37[/tex] , this tell us that the test is a  Left-tailed test , it tell us that the value we are considering is at left side of the area under the normal curve
