Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement "µ ≠ 3" indicates that the hypothesis does not specify a direction of difference (greater than or less than), only that the mean is not equal to 3. This is characteristic of a non-directional hypothesis, and because it allows for differences in two directions (either greater than or less than 3), it is part of a two-tailed hypothesis.
