AP Statistics· difficulty 1/5

A coach claims a new training method reduces 5K times.

Pair index Difference 0

Using d = before - after, the appropriate alternative for "training reduces times" is:

  • A

    Ha: mu_d = 0

  • B

    Ha: mu_d != 0

  • C

    Ha: mu_d > 0

    check_circle
  • D

    Ha: mu_d < 0

Explanation

If training reduces times, after < before, so before - after > 0; thus Ha: mu_d > 0.
