Question

Restaurateur Denny Valentine is evaluating two sites, Raymondville and Rosenberg, for his next restaurant.He wants to prove that Raymondville residents (population 1)dine out more often than Rosenberg residents (population 2).Denny plans to test this hypothesis using a random sample of 81 families from each suburb.His null hypothesis is ___. A)$\sigma$₁² < $\sigma$₂² B)$\mu$₁ - µ₂> 0 C)p₁ - p₂ = 0 D)$\mu$₁ - $\mu$₂ = 0 E)s₁ - s₂ = 0

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The null hypothesis typically states that there is no difference between the groups being compared. In this case, it would be that the mean dining out frequency of Raymondville residents is equal to that of Rosenberg residents, which is represented by $\mu$₁ - $\mu$₂ = 0.
