The parametric case of means for two independent samples involves comparing the means of two populations. The null hypothesis (H0) states that the means are equal, while the alternative hypothesis (H1) can take the form of either μ1 ≠ μ2 (two-tailed) or μ1 > μ2 (one-tailed). Choice C correctly states the null and alternative hypotheses for this scenario. Choices A and D do not apply, as they involve population variances and proportions, respectively. Choice B is a one-tailed hypothesis, but it is not specific to the case of comparing means for two independent samples.
