-A researcher claims that the amounts of acetaminophen in a certain brand of cold tablets have a standard deviation different from the σ=3.3mg\sigma = 3.3 \mathrm { mg } claimed by the manufacturer.


A) H0:σ3.3mgH1:σ>3.3mg\begin{array}{l}\mathrm{H}_{0}: \sigma \leq 3.3 \mathrm{mg} \\\mathrm{H}_{1}: \sigma>3.3 \mathrm{mg}\end{array}

B) H0:σ=3.3mgH1:σ3.3mg\begin{array}{l}\mathrm{H}_{0}: \sigma=3.3 \mathrm{mg} \\\mathrm{H}_{1}: \sigma \neq 3.3 \mathrm{mg}\end{array}
