A recent newspaper article claimed that more people read Magazine A than read Magazine B. To test the claim, a study was conducted by a publishing representative in which newsstand operators were selected at random and asked how many of each magazine were sold that day. The representative will conduct a hypothesis test to test whether the mean number of magazines of type A the operators sell, μA, is greater than the mean number of magazines of type B the operators sell, μB. What are the correct null and alternative hypotheses for the test? a) H0:μA−μB=0 Ha:μA−μB>0 b) H0:μA−μB<0 Ha:μA−μB>0 c) H0:μA−μB=0 Ha:μA−μB≠0 d) H0:x¯A−x¯B=0 Ha:x¯A−x¯B>0 e) H0:μB−μA=0 Ha:μB−μA>0
