A college student is interested in testing whether business majors or liberal arts majors are better at trivia. the student gives a trivia quiz to a random sample of 30 business majors and finds the sample's average score is 86. he gives the same quiz to 30 randomly selected liberal arts majors and finds the sample's average score is 89. what is the alternative hypothesis of this test

Respuesta :

Answer: μ Business ≠ μ Liberal is correct


The alternative hypothesis is the one in which the researcher anticipates a difference between the variables being tested. The variables being tested here are business school majors' trivia scores and liberal arts majors' trivia scores; therefore, the alternative hypothesis is that the mean scores are not equal.
