Final Answer :
True
Explanation :
As the alternative value of μ (the true population mean) deviates more from the null hypothesis value, the difference between the sample mean and the hypothesized value becomes larger, increasing the power of the test to detect this difference. Therefore, as the alternative value of μ increases, so does the power of the test.
