Question

Recall the experiment comparing patients 4 weeks after surgery for carpal

Answer 1

Answer:

4. H0: u1= u2    Ha; u1≠ u2

5. The smaller value of p supports the null hypothesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

4. The null and alternate hypotheses are

H0: u1= u2   i.e there no difference between the mean pinch strengthof the two surgeries

against the claim

Ha; u1≠ u2   i.e there a difference between the mean pinch strengthof the two surgeries

It can be written like this as well

H0: u1 -u2= 0   i.e there no difference between the mean pinch strengthof the two surgeries

against the claim

Ha; u1 -u2≠ 0   i.e there a difference between the mean pinch strengthof the two surgeries

Part 5. The test having a p- value less than 0.05  tells that the null hypothesis cannot be rejected. Theres no evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

The smaller value of p supports the null hypothesis.
