In testing for differences between the means of two independent populations,the null hypothesis is: A)H₀: $\mu$₁ -$\mu$₂ = 2. B)H₀: ?₁- ?₂= 0. C)H₀: ?₁- ?₂> 0. D)H₀: ?₁- ?₂< 2.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The null hypothesis is typically that there is no significant difference between the means of the two populations. Choice B is the only option that directly states this, with the equation indicating that the difference between the population means is equal to zero.
