The statement represents a claim. Write its complement and state which is $\mathrm{H}_{0}$ and which is $\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{A}}$. $\mu=8.3$ A. $H_{0}: \mu=8.3$ (claim); $H_{a}: \mu \neq 8.3$ B. $H_{0}: \mu \neq 8.3 ; H_{a}: \mu=8.3$ (claim) C. $H_{0}: \mu \geq 8.3$ (claim); $H_{a}: \mu<8.3$ D. $H_{0}: \mu \leq 8.3 ; H_{a}: \mu>8.3$ (claim)

Step 1 ：The statement represents a claim. Write its complement and state which is $H_{0}$ and which is $H_{A}$. The claim is that $\mu=8.3$.

Step 2 ：The null hypothesis ($H_{0}$) is usually a statement of no effect or no difference. It is the hypothesis that the researcher is trying to disprove.

Step 3 ：The alternative hypothesis ($H_{A}$) is a statement that contradicts the null hypothesis. It is what the researcher believes to be true and is trying to prove.

Step 4 ：In this case, the claim is that $\mu=8.3$. This would be our null hypothesis.

Step 5 ：The complement of this claim, which would be our alternative hypothesis, is that $\mu \neq 8.3$.

Step 6 ：Final Answer: \(\boxed{A. H_{0}: \mu=8.3 \text{ (claim); } H_{a}: \mu \neq 8.3}\)
