Question

State the null and alternative hypotheses. Recall that researchers are asking the question, “Is there evidence to indicate those on the supervised exercise program lost a different amount of weight, on average, than those not on the program?

Fill in the blank to construct the NULL hypothesis?

H_o : µ_sup - µ_control A. [ Select ] ["=", "<", ">", "≠"]       B. [ Select ]                       ["0", "a positive number", "a negative number", "there is not enough information to determine this value"]      

Fill in the blank to construct the ALTERNATIVE hypothesis?

H_a : µ_sup - µ_control A. [ Select ] ["=", "<", ">", "≠"]       B. [ Select ]                       ["0", "a positive number", "a negative number", "there is not enough information to determine this value"]   

Answer 1

The researchers want to know whether there evidence to indicate those on the supervised exercise program lost a different amount of weight, on average, than those not on the program.

So, the null and alternate hypothesis are:

H0:

Ha:

For H0, the correct options are = and 0.

For Ha, the correct options are and 0.
