what are they in this?

Catherine believes that the average salary for women working in the restaurant sector was more than $14.70 per hour in 2011. To test this hypothesis, she takes a random sample of 35 women in the restaurant sector and found that their average salary was $16.78 per hour with a standard deviation of $6.60.


thank you

The null hypothesis would be something along the lines of: "The average salary for women working in the restaurant sector is equal to or less than $14.70.
The alternative hypothesis would be something along the lines of: "The average salary for women working in the restaurant sector is greater than $14.70.

Combined you want them to cover all possible outcomes. But you don't want any overlap between them.
