    You find the following results:

    What is the correct set of hypotheses for this research question?


    1. FALSE: H0:μD=0H_0: \mu_D = 0 vs. H1:μD>0H_1: \mu_D > 0
    2. TRUE: H0:μMμF=0H_0: \mu_M - \mu_F = 0 vs. H1:μMμF>0H_1: \mu_M - \mu_F > 0
    3. FALSE: H0:μD=0H_0: \mu_D = 0 vs. H1:μD0H_1: \mu_D \neq 0
    4. FALSE: H0:μMμF=0H_0: \mu_M - \mu_F = 0 vs. H1:μMμF<0H_1: \mu_M - \mu_F < 0

    1. This research question is not about a matched pairs design.
    2. Correct.
    3. This research question is not about a matched pairs design.
    4. This research question is not asking to see if female students have more Facebook friends than male students.
