When a parachute is inspected, the inspector is looking for anything that might indicate the parachute might not open.

- State the null and alternative hypotheses for this situation.

If the inspector is looking for indications that the parachute might not open:

Ho: will not open

Ha: will open

The null hypothesis for this situation is typically that there is no issue or defect with the parachute that would prevent it from opening. The alternative hypothesis would be that there is an issue or defect that could potentially prevent the parachute from opening.
