The body weight of a healthy 3-month-old colt should be about ? = 66 kg.

I need help with (a) (b) and (c)

The body weight of a healthy 3-month-old colt should be about u = 66 kg.
(a) If you want to set up a statistical test to challenge the claim that u = 66 kg, what would you use for the null hypothesis Ho?
Ο μ> 66 kg
Ο μ< 66 kg
Ο μ = 66 kg
O µ + 66 kg
(b) In Nevada, there are many herds of wild horses. Suppose you want to test the claim that the average weight of a wild Nevada colt (3 months old) is less than 66 kg. What would you use for the alternate hypothesis H,?
O u > 66 kg
Ο μ< 66 kg
Ο μ= 66 kg
u + 66 kg
(c) Suppose you want to test the claim that the average weight of such a wild colt is greater than 66 kg. What would you use for the alternate hypothesis?
Ο μ> 66 kg
Ομ< 66 kg
Ο μ= 66 kg
Ο μ# 66 kg
(d) Suppose you want to test the claim that the average weight of such a wild colt is different from 66 kg. What would you use for the alternate hypothesis?
O u > 66 kg
Ο μ< 66 kg
H = 66 kg
Ο μ# 66 kg
(e) For each of the tests in parts (b), (c), and (d), respectively, would the area corresponding to the P-value be on the left, on the right, or on both sides of the mean?
O left; right; both
O left; both; right
O right; left; both
O both; left; right
