Question

a university is comparing the grade point averages of biology majors with grade point averages of engineering majors. the university wants to test whether there is a significant difference in the hpa for students in the two majors what are the null and alternative hypotheses that should be used to test this claim

Answer 1

Answer:

H0 : μEng = μBio

H1: μEng ≠ μBio

Step-by-step explanation:

μEng = Engineering average gpa

μBio = Biology average gpa

To test for difference between two sample means , in this case grade point average of biology majors and Engineering major.

Null hypothesis is the initial truth, which is that ; there is no difference in the mean grade point average of both biology and engineering majors

H0 : μEng = μBio

The Alternative hypothesis is the opposite of the null, which is stated has ; there is difference between the average GPA of both Engineering and Biology majors

H1: μEng ≠ μBio
