Answer: [tex]H_0:\mu=453[/tex]
[tex]H_1:\mu\neq453[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : An operator of chocolate-packaging machine monitors the net weights of the packaged boxes by periodically weighing random samples of boxes.
The operator wishes to see if a random sample of 50 boxes gives evidence that the mean is different than 453 grams.
i.e. Claim : [tex]\mu\neq 453[/tex]
We know that the null hypothesis is a kind of claim which always takes equals sign but alternative hypothesis does not.
Thus , the null and alternative hypotheses for the given situation will be :-
[tex]\text{Null hypothesis}\ H_0:\mu=453\\\text{Alternative hypothesis}\ H_1:\mu\neq453[/tex]
