Answer: Alternative Hypothesis

Ha : u ≠ 80 inches (mean not equal to 80 inches)

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypothesis (H0) tries to show that no significant variation exists between variables or that a single variable is no different than its mean.

While an alternative Hypothesis (Ha) attempt to prove that a new theory is true rather than the old one. That a variable is significantly different from the mean.

For the case above, the mean door height is 80 inches

H0 : u = 80 inches

Ha : u ≠ 80 inches (mean not equal to 80 inches)
