Minh is a criminal justice researcher. He comes across several articles that demonstrate that communities that are supported in education, employment, healthcare, and childcare are associated with lower rates of crime. Minh convinces the city to conduct a study by investing in these areas hoping to reduce crime from the mean of 140 robberies/year.  The null hypothesis would state that there would be no reduction (greater than or equal to 140): µ ≥ 140 robberies/year The alternative hypothesis would state that there would be a reduction: How would it be written?
