The maximum distance at which a highway sign can be read is determined for a sample of young people and a sample of older people. The mean distance is computed for each age group. What's the research hypothesis about the means of the two groups?

The population mean are the same

Explanation:

The population means are the same.

Explanation:

The hypotheses for a difference in two population means are similar to those for a difference difference two population proportions.

At null point, Ha=0

Let the mean population of the young one be u1

Let the mean population of the old one be u2.

Then, the difference between their mean population distance is given as

Ha=u2-u1

Since, Ha is null point, Ha=0

0=u2-u1

u2=u1

This shows that the mean population distance of the old is equal to the mean population distance of the young.

Therefore their mean population distance is the same

Since it is null alternative then, the population mean are the same.

We must sample the population using

1. Samples must be random to remove or minimize bias.

2. Sample must be representative of the populations in question.

im guessing the west of station b

the total distance that martina travels that day is

(distance from home to mom's office) plus (distance from mom's office to school)

plus (distance from school to library) plus (distance from library to friend's house)

plus (distance from friend's house to martina's house).

(we don't know what any of these distance actually is.)
