The average hourly wage of computer programmers with 2 years of experience has been $21.80.Because of high demand for computer programmers, it is believed there has been a significant increase in the average wage of computer programmers. To test whether or not there has been an increase, the correct hypotheses to be tested area. H0: μ < 21.80 Ha: μ >= 21.80b. H0: μ = 21.80 Ha: μ ≠ 21.80c. H0: μ > 21.80 Ha: μ =< 21.80d. H0: μ <= 21.80 Ha: μ > 21.80

d. H0: μ <= 21.80 Ha: μ > 21.80

Step-by-step explanation:

We set the null hypothesis as what is already given . We are already informed that the average wage is equal to  μ <= 21.80 against the claim that is required. It is required to test whether the average wage of the computer programmers is greater than μ > 21.80

So option d is the best answer.

Hypotheses testing is done  using an observation and a claim. The observation is set as a null hypothesis and claim is set as an alternative hypothesis. The null and alternative hypotheses must be chosen wisely to get the correct results.

The critical region is dependent on the claim set.
