A random sample of 25 rivers was observed and the mean TSS was found to be 100 mg/L.

Question
A biologist believes that there has been increase in the mean total suspended solids (TSS, mg/L) among
Philippine rivers since its last study, where a mean 80 mg/L of TSS was observed. A random sample of 25
rivers was observed and the mean TSS was found to be 100 mg/L. Suppose it is of interest to test the biologist
claim, the appropriate pair of null and alternative hypotheses is
O Ho: µ-80, Ha: μ>80
O Ho: μ-100, Ha: µ>100
O Ho: X-bar = 80, Ha: X-bar > 80
O Ho: X-bar = 100, Ha: X-bar > 100
