(2) What would the null and alternative hypotheses be?
(Select two answers for each)
(a) Z test
(b)single sample t test
(c)dependent sample t-test
(d) independent sample t -test
(e) ANOVA
(f) Pearson
(g) Chi Square goodness of fit test.
(h)Chi Square test for independece
(i)Ho: roe<=0
Ha: roe>0
(j)Ho: roe>=0
Ha: roe<0
(k)Ho : roe =0
Ha :roe != 0
(l) Ho: The categories are the same
Ha: The categories are different
(m)Ho: The two variables are not related
Ha: The two variables are related/dependent.
(n)Ho: U1= U2 =0
H1:U1- U2 !=0
(o) Ho: U1=U2=U3
Ha: not all means are the same.
