Question

If we are interested in testing whether the mean of population 1 is significantly different from the mean of population 2, the correct null hypothesis is (please select correct answers)

a. H0: 1- 2 0

b. H0: 1- 2 = 0

c. H0: 1- 2 > 0

d. H0: 1- 2 = 0

The level of significance:

can be any positive value

can be any value

can be any value between -1.96 to 1.96

is (1 - confidence level)

a.

can be any positive value

b.

can be any value

c.

can be any value between -1.96 to 1.96

d.

is (1 - confidence level)

Explanation / Answer

Here we need to check whether there is any significant difference between two means

So H0: mu1=mu2 vs H1: mu1 not equal to mu2

So answer is b and d as they are both are same thing

The level of significance is 1-confidence level so answer is d.
