Question

Identify the null and alternative hypothesis in the following scenario.

Answer 1

Answer:

H0 : u1 = u2 ;  H1 : u1 ≠ u2 , or specifically u1 > u2  

Step-by-step explanation:

Null Hypothesis is the neutral hypothesis , stating no difference from assumed value,  (or in this case no difference between both batteries' mean life)

Alternate Hypothesis is the special case hypothesis, stating difference from assumed value , (or in this case states difference between both batteries' mean life)

Let mean life of battery 1 & battery be b = u1 & u2 , respectively.

Null Hypothesis  [ H0 ] : u1 = u2

Alternate Hypothesis  [ H1 ] : u1 ≠ u2 , or specifically u1 > u2 { To determine if battery 1 lasts longer than battery 2 }
