Answer 1

Answer:

The third alternative is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

In hypothesis testing, the null hypothesis H0 is the hypothesis of no difference and as such it always contains an equality sign. The equality sign could be either of the following alternatives;

=, equal to

≤, less than or equal to

≥, greater than or equal to

In the question presented the claim is that students who practice taking all of their regular tests on the computer will do better on the state's final exam than the students taking their regular tests by paper and pencil.  

This implies that the average on the state exam of students using paper and pencil tests is less than the average of the students using computer tests. Since the null hypothesis must contain an equality sign, the third alternative becomes our null hypothesis, H0.
