(a-1) Choose the appropriate hypotheses. 

a.H0μtoy - μhon ≤ 0 vs. H1μtoy - μhon > 0. Reject H0 if tcalc > 1.688b.

b.H0μtoy - μhon ≤ 0 vs. H1μtoy - μhon > 0. Reject H0 if tcalc < 1.688c.

c.H0μtoy - μhon ≥ 0 vs. H1μtoy - μhon < 0. Reject H0 if tcalc < - 1.688d.

d.H0μtoy - μhon ≥ 0 vs. H1μtoy - μhon < 0. Reject H0 if tcalc > - 1.688
