When deciding the null and alternative hypotheses the rule o

When deciding the null and alternative hypotheses, the rule of thumb is that if the claim contains the equality (e.g., at least, at most, no different from, etc.), the claim becomes the null hypothesis. If the claim does not contain the equality (e.g., less than, more than, different from), the claim is the alternative hypothesis. True or false

Solution

True, this is exactly how we decide hypothesis. Null hypothesis always has partial or full equality sign.
