A researcher wants to investigate whether there is a relationship between levels of depression and academic performance among university students. She measures: Depression levels using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) (higher scores = higher levels of depression), and Academic performance using final course marks (out of 100). Data was collected from 10 undergraduate students. Which of the following correctly states the hypotheses?
H₀: μ₁ = μ₂    H₁: μ₁ ≠ μ₂
0%
H₀: ρ = 0       H₁: ρ ≠ 0

Answer

H ₀ : μ ₁  = μ ₂      H ₁ : μ ₁  ≠ μ ₂

Answer

H ₀ : ρ = 0       H ₁ : ρ ≠ 0

Answer

H ₀ : r > 0        H ₁ : r < 0

Answer

H 0 : µ 1 
= µ 2         H 1 : µ 1
