**Determine whether the alternate hypothesis is left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed.**

\[ H_0: \mu = 26 \]

\[ H_1: \mu \neq 26 \]

**The alternate hypothesis is** (Choose one) \[ \downarrow \] \[ \times \] \[ \circlearrowright \]

---

**Explanation:**

- **Hypotheses:**
  - The null hypothesis (\(H_0\)) suggests that the population mean \(\mu\) equals 26.
  - The alternate hypothesis (\(H_1\)) proposes that the population mean \(\mu\) does not equal 26.

- **Hypothesis Test Type:**
  - **Two-Tailed Test:** The alternate hypothesis is denoted as \(\mu \neq 26\) indicating a two-tailed test. This means we are testing for the possibility of the mean being either less than or greater than 26.

- **Interface Elements:**
  - A dropdown menu labeled "The alternate hypothesis is (Choose one)" allows selection among options to determine the test type.
  - Two buttons are present: an "X" for clearing input, and a circular arrow for resetting the choice.
