Answer:
<em>H</em>₀: <em>μ₁ = μ₂= μ₃</em>
<em>Hₐ: </em>At least one of the means is different.
Step-by-step explanation:
Analysis of variance or ANOVA test is used to determine whether the means of different groups are similar or not.
The hypothesis of an ANOVA test for <em>n</em> homogeneous groups is:
In this case the researcher is testing whether the mean bone mineral density is different for the three different groups.
The hypothesis for this test can be defined as follows:
<em>H</em>₀: The mean bone mineral density is not different for the three different groups, i.e. <em>μ₁ = μ₂= μ₃</em>
<em>Hₐ: </em>The mean bone mineral density is different for the three different groups, i.e. at least one of the means is different.
