Null Hypothesis

A default hypothesis that there is no effect or no difference, used as a starting point for statistical testing.

µ = 3

A notation indicating that the mean (average) of a certain dataset or population is equal to 3.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
A correctly stated null hypothesis should include a statement about a population parameter or the absence of a relationship between variables, and use appropriate statistical notation. Option C states the null hypothesis as µ = 3, where µ represents a population mean. Options A and D use inappropriate notation and include meaningless values that do not relate to the research question. Option B includes a string of characters that does not represent a statistically meaningful statement.
