Is there enough evidence to show that the patients with schizophrenia have less TBV on average than a patient that is considered normal? Test at the 10% level.
(i) Let μ1 = mean TBV of patients that are considered normal. Let μ2 = mean TBV of patients that had schizophrenia. Which of the following statements correctly defines the null hypothesis HO?
A. μ1 + μ2 = 0
B. μ1 – μ2 < 0 (μ1 < μ2)
C. μ1 − μ2 > 0 (μ1 > μ2)
D. μ1 − μ2 = 0 (μ1 = μ2)
Enter letter corresponding to correct answer
