Interestingly, I have always been told that the null hypothesis contains the equality....EVERY TIME! Yet, what do we see in formula 5.11 in Miller's chapter 5? ...an equality in the alternative hypothesis. What is the deal?
Hi @RiskRat ,What i understand about Null Hypothesis ( H0 ) is as follows:
1. If the original claim includes equality (<=, =, or >=), it is the null hypothesis.
2. If the original claim does not include equality (<, not equal, >) then the null hypothesis is the complement of the original claim.
3. The null hypothesis always includes the equal sign. The decision is based on the null hypothesis.
