| bidisha | H0= u>6 , h1 = u<= 6 |

| enetis | u<=6 at 5% significance implies that prob u>6 is 95% |
| dbedford | We are basically saying "If we accept the research hypothesis that the population average is less than or equal to 6, then there is a 5% chance we'll be wrong |
Thanks again for your wonderful site ... it definitely made the difference.
