For the situation described below, state the null and alternative hypotheses to be tested. (Enter != for ≠ as needed.) A new variety of pearl millet is expected to provide an increased yield over the variety presently in use, which has a mean yield of about 55 bushels per acre.
For each of the following settings, define the parameter of interest and write the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses for the test that is described. Scenario 1: In an avocado, the average seed diameter is 1 inch. However, you are an avocado expert and you believe that the average seed diameter is increasing recently.
Express the null and alternative hypotheses in symbolic form for this claim: the mean weight of female dancers in a local modern dance company is equal to 138 lbs. Note that the mean weight in the sample taken is 134 lbs.
For each of the following settings, define the parameter of interest and write the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses for the test that is described. Consider the scenario ai from the previous question. Suppose you take an SRS of 50 avocados and find that the mean is 1.1 inches, which yields a p-value of 0.0542. Interpret the P-value in the context of the problem. What conclusion would you draw at the =0.05 level? At the =0.10 level?

The sample mean is Greater/Less than the previous mean, so, on average, consumption from the sample is Greater/Less than in the previous study. The sample standard deviation is Greater/Less than the previous standard deviation by _____ so the milk consumption is More/Less spread out in the sample. Above is the complete question for the last question of the problem that I attached below.
