4) In a chemical industry, the mean temperature at which metallic glass becomes brittle1 point
was of interest. Now suppose practitioners would like to determine whether this mean
temperature exceeds 595 °C. A random sample of 20 is taken, yielding a sample mean X of 600
°C. The null hypothesis H0 will be-

H0 : μ ≥ 595
H0 : μ = 595
