Formulate the null and alternative hypotheses for a hypothesis test. -The owner of a football team claims that the mean attendance at games is greater than 75,100. A) $\mathrm { H } _ { 0 } : \mu < 75,100$ $\mathrm { H } _ { \mathrm { a } } : \mu = 75,100$ B) $\mathrm { H } _ { 0 } : \mu > 75,100$ $\mathrm { H } _ { \mathrm { a } } : \mu = 75,100$ C) $\mathrm { H } _ { 0 } : \mu = 75,100$ $\mathrm { H } _ { \mathrm { a } } : \mu > 75,100$ D) $\mathrm { H } _ { 0 } : \mu = 75,100$ $\mathrm { H } _ { \mathrm { a } } : \mu < 75,100$

The null hypothesis ($H_0$) typically represents a statement of no effect or no difference, and it is tested against an alternative hypothesis ($H_a$) which represents the research hypothesis. Since the claim is that the mean attendance is greater than 75,100, the null hypothesis should state the mean attendance is equal to 75,100 ($\mu = 75,100$), and the alternative hypothesis should reflect the claim, stating the mean attendance is greater than 75,100 ($\mu > 75,100$).
