Notation for one-sided hypothesis testing
+2
−0
I see the following notation for one-sided hypothesis testing:
- $H_0$: $K = 2$
- $H_1$: $K > 2$
I would find it more natural to write:
- $H_0$: $K \le 2$
- $H_1$: $K > 2$
Assume a situation where $K$ is not, by definition, limited to equal or be higher than two. $K$ is just a dummy variable and 2 a dummy number.
Where does the first notation come from and why is it in use?
