Question

Income East and West of the Mississippi

Answer 1

Answer:

H0: μ1 = μ2

H1: μ1 ≠ μ2 ;

xbar1 - xbar2

Step-by-step explanation:

The Null hypothesis should state that there is no difference in average household income between those located east and west of the Mississippi

H0: μ1 = μ2

H1: μ1 ≠ μ2

Statistic from the sample that would be used to estimate difference

Statistic refers to the numerical characteristic derived from the sample.

To estimate the difference in the average household income between those located east and west of the Mississippi, we take the sample mean of the two groups

Group 1, East of Mississippi = xbar 1

Group 2, West of Mississippi River = xbar 2

xbar1 - xbar2
