    c). Two tailed test

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The given hypothesis are

    Null hypothesis: H0:μ = 1.7

    Alternative hypothesis: H1:μ≠ 1.7

    The alternative hypothesis demonstrates that mean number of children are not 1.7 in 2000. This means that mean number of children can be greater than 1.7 or mean number of children can be less than 1.7. Thus, the given alternative hypothesis indicates the two tailed test.
