question 14

Multiple Choice

In a two-sample test for differences in means, the hypotheses are of the form:

• A) \(\begin{array} { l }
• H _ { 0 } : \mu 1 - \mu _ { 2 } \{ \geq , \leq , \text { or } = \} 0 \\
• H _ { 1 } : \mu 1 - \mu 2 \{ \geq , < , \text { or } = \} 0
• \end{array}\)
• B) \(\left.H_{0}: \mu 1-\mu 2, \geq, \leq \text { or }=\right\} 0\)
• \(H_{1}: \mu_{1}-\mu_{2}\{>,<, \text { or } z\} 0\)
• C) \(\begin{array}{l}
• H_{0}: \mu_{1}-\mu_{2}\{\geq, \leq \text {, or } z\} 0 \\
• H_{1}: \mu_{1}-\mu_{2}\{>,\leq, \text { or }=\} 0
• \end{array}\)
• D) \(\begin{array}{l}
• H_{0}: \mu_{1}-\mu_{2}\{>,<\text {, or }=\} 0 \\
• H_{1}: \mu_{1}-\mu_{2}\{\leq, \geq \text { or } z\}
• \end{array}\)
