Ted wanted to determine if one brand of paper towels (Brand A) was stronger than another brand (Brand B). He performed a study
where he randomly selected 25 sheets from each of the two brands, placed each sheet in an embroidery hoop (and tightened the hoop), placed 30 drops of water on each paper towel, and placed weights on each sheet until the sheet broke. He recorded the maximum weight on the paper towel before it broke. Which of the following statements is correct? A) A two-tail test will be performed since the alternative hypothesis contains a "less than"
B) A one-tail test will be performed since the alternative hypothesis contains a "not equal to".
C) A one-tail test will be performed since the alternative hypothesis contains a "less than".
D) A two-tail test will be performed since the null hypothesis contains a "not equal to"
E) A two-tail test will be performed since the alternative hypothesis contains a "not equal to".
C) A one-tail test will be performed since the alternative hypothesis contains a "less than".
Step-by-step explanation:
Test may be categorized as being one tailed or two tailed depending on the inequality sign used when defining the hypothesis ` ; Hypothesis whereby the alternative hypothesis takes a not equal to (≠) are categorized as two talked as the direction of does not point to either the left or right. Conversely, alternative hypothesis which takes a less Than sign or takes a greater Than sign are classed as being one tailed as the they point to a specified direction..
For the scenario given : we are to test the claim that one is stronger than the other ;
For this knid if test it has been stated explicitly that one is greater than another ;
