Fertilizer: A new type of fertilizer is being tested on a plot of land in an orange grove, to see whether it increases the amount of fruit produced. The mean number of pounds of fruit on this plot of land with the old fertilizer was 380 pounds. Agriculture scientists believe that the new fertilizer may change the yield. State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses.

The null and alternative hypothesis for this problem are:

Step-by-step explanation:

The alternative hypothesis shows the claim of the researchers. In this case, that the new type of fertilizer significantly increase the actual yield with the old fertilizer:

The null hypothesis is the hypothesis to be nullified, so it states that the claim is not true and the yield is the same (or, at least, not significantly higher) as with the old fertilizer:

it's equivalent, so we can say that its equal.

let's call the denominator x and the numerador is 18 less then denominator, x - 18.

multiply

2.x = 5.(x - 18)

2x = 5x - 90

90 = 5x - 2x

90 = 3x

x = 90/3

x = 30

so:
