Answer:

a. True

Step-by-step explanation:

By ∝= 5% we mean that there are about 5 chances in 100 of incorrectly rejecting a true null hypothesis. To put it in another way , we say that we are 95% confident in making the correct decision.

In the given question the null hypothesis is

H0: u ≤ 1 hour and Ha:  u > 1 hour

So there is a 5% chance that the erroneous conclusion will be made that students spend on average more than 1 hour per assignment.

The given statement is true.
