    Question

    One researcher claims that girls (group 1) receive less pocket money than boys (group 2). He tests this one-sided hypothesis and uses a significance level (alpha) of 5%.

    In this case, what is the alternative hypothesis?


    1. TRUE: Ha: µ1 - µ2 < 0.
    2. FALSE: Ha: µ1 ≠ µ2.
    3. FALSE: Ha: µ1 + µ2 < 0.
    4. FALSE: Ha: µ1 = µ2.
    5. FALSE: Ha: µ1 - µ2 = 0.
    6. FALSE: Ha: µ1 < 0.

    1. True
    2. False
    3. False
    4. False
    5. False
    6. False
