Q9: Please answer both parts Dr. Nkrumah studies white-footed mice in the Konza Prairie in Kansas. Recently he has noticed that a new species of grass (martin grass) has appeared in one of his study areas. The seeds of this new plant seemed to be used by the mice as a food source and recent captures of mice in the area indicate that the mice in the area are increasing in overall weight. To determine if this new food source is causing the increase in mice weight Dr. Nkrumah has captured 60 mice from his site. He weighs each mouse and then places each into a separate cage. All the mice are kept in the same chamber, with the same light and temperture conditions. Half of the mice are given a diet consisting of entirely of wheat seeds (normal diet), and the other half are feed a diet that consist of 50% wheat seeds and 50% martin grass seeds.The volume of each diet is the same. He feeds the mice these diets for two weeks and then weighs each mouse. Identify the null and alternate hypotheses being studied with this experiment. The answer choices are shown in the picture please pick one for each hypotheses

![Identify the null and alternate hypotheses being studied with this experiment.
Null hypothesis
V [ Choose ]
Mice fed the diet with martin grass seeds will be more fit than mice fed the wheat seeds
There will be no difference in weight gain between mice fed the normal diet and mice fed the diet with martin grass seeds.
There will be larger weight gain in mice fed the diet with martin grass seeds.
There will be smaller weight gain in mice fed the diet with martin grass seeds.
Mice fed the diet with martin grass seeds will grow faster than those fed the wheat seeds.
