An information technology help desk has a service level agreement (SLA) that says that clients should be contacted about their service requests within 1 hour (60 minutes) of the help desk receiving the request. Jackie, the help desk manager, wants to check if the help desk is actually taking longer than 60 minutes to respond. For a random sample of 20 service requests, Jackie obtained the time between the help desk receiving the request and the client being contacted. The marketer conducts a one-mean hypothesis at the 5% significance level, to test whether the response time is greater than 60 minutes. (a)  Which answer choice shows the correct null and alternative hypotheses for this test? Select the correct answer below: H0:μ=20; Ha:μ<20, which is a left-tailed test. H0:μ=60; Ha:μ<60, which is a left-tailed test. H0:μ=20; Ha:μ>20, which is a right-tailed test. H0:μ=60; Ha:μ>60, which is a right-tailed test.
