The average lactation (nursing) period of all earless seals is 23 days. A hypothesis test is to be performed to decide whether the mean lactation period of grey seals differs from 23 days. a. determine the null hypothesis. b. determine the alternative hypothesis. c. classify the hypothesis test as two tailed, left tailed, or right tailed.
