Question

Cadmium, a heavy metal, is toxic to animals. Mushrooms, however, are able to absorb and accumulate cadmium at high concentrations. Some governments have a safety limit for cadmium in dry vegetables at 1.3 parts per million (ppm). A hypothesis test is to be performed to decide whether the mean cadmium level in a certain mushroom is greater than the government's recommended limit. Complete parts (a) through (c) below.

a. Determine the null hypothesis.

H0: μ _____ (<, ≠, >, =) ___________ ppm

(Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.)

b. Determine the alternative hypothesis.

Ha: μ _____ (<, ≠, >, =) ___________ ppm

(Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.)

c. Classify the hypothesis test as two tailed, left tailed, or right tailed.

The hypothesis test is __________ (left tailed, two tailed, right tailed.)
