Answer:The Null hypothesis state that the mean hemoglobin level for all the children in Jordan is 12g/dl.

While the Alternative Hypothesis state that the mean hemoglobin level for all the children in Jordan is less than 12g/dl

The Null hypothesis H0: This is the hypothesis that state that there is no statistical difference between the two variables in the hypothesis. It is the hypothesis that the researcher is work to nullify.

The Alternative hypothesis H1: This is the hypothesis that states there is a statistically difference between two variables.
