Question
Listed below are the lead concentrations in
μ​g/g
measured in different traditional medicines. Use a
0.01
significance level to test the claim that the mean lead concentration for all such medicines is less than
14
μ​g/g.
Assume that the sample is a simple random sample.

B.
H0​:μ>14μ​g/
H1​:μ<14μ​g/g
 
C.
H0​:μ=14μ​g/g
