Questions-

I. Few years ago, the average number of hours worked each week by general practitioners was known to be 49.

To test if the number of hours worked per week has increased, which of the following hypotheses are correct?

a. H₀: μ = 49 vs H_A: μ ≠ 49
b. H₀: μ = 49 vs H_A: μ > 49
c. H₀: μ = 49 vs H_A: x¯ = 52
d. H₀: x¯ = 52 vs H_A: x¯ > 52
e. H₀: x¯ = 52 vs H_A: x¯ ≠ 52
