- A researcher studying stress is interested in the blood pressure measurements of chief executive officers (CEOS) of major corporations. He has good reason to believe that the mean systolic blood pressure, u, of CEOS of major corporations is less than 130 mm Hg, which is the value reported in a possibly outdated journal article. He plans to perform a statistical test. He measures the systolic blood pressures of a random sample of CEOS of major corporations and finds the mean of the sample to be 120 mm Hg and the standard deviation of the sample to be 15 mm Hg. Based on this information, complete the parts below. (a) What are the null hypothesis H, and the alternative hypothesis H, that should be used for the test?

They each randomly sample 50 songs from their libraries and record the lengths of the songs selected. The average of the selected hip-hop songs was x1 = 245 seconds with a sample standard deviation of 4 seconds. The average of the selected rap songs was x2 = 275 seconds with a sample standard deviation of 6 seconds. They would like to know if the average length of hip-hop songs is different than the average length of rap songs. (a) What are the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses for this test?
