A new type of medical tubing is being developed by company ABC. The development engineer would like to test whether the tube has better elongation than the competitor's design.

State the hypotheses that should be tested in this experiment

The Attempt at a Solution

H_o: The new tubing has the same elongation or worse than competitor's design
μ₁ ≤ μ₂

H_a: The new tubing has better elongation than competitor's design (claim)
μ₁ > μ₂

i got this wrong, can't figure out why
