A Company Manufactures U-100 Insulin Syringes Designed to Contain 1

Multiple Choice

A company manufactures U-100 insulin syringes designed to contain 1 milliliter (ml) of a solution containing insulin. The actual distribution of solution volumes in these syringes is Normal, with meanμ and standard deviation σ= 0.05 ml. We randomly select 8 syringes and measure the volume of solution in each, and ask if the resulting data give evidence that the true population mean solution volume is not 1 ml. Here is the software output from a one-sample z test on the data collected:
Variable   N   Mean   StDev   SE   Mean   95%   CI   Z   P
Volumes   8   1.0175   0.0320   0.0177   (0.9829, 1.0521)   0.99   0.322
​
What is the appropriate alternative hypothesis for this test?

A) H_a: μ≠1
B) H_a: μ> 1
C) H_a: μ< 1.0175
D) H_a: x̄≠1.0175
