Answer Questions 4, 5. and 6 on the basis of the research hypothesis that more males have only beards than have only mustaches, have both mustaches and beards, or have neither mustaches nor beards.
Question 4
4. State the null hypothesis.
Question 5
5. What does failure to reject the null hypothesis indicate about
the research hypothesis? Why?
Question 6
6. What does a rejected null hypothesis indicate about the research
hypothesis? Why?
Question 4:
H0: Null Hypothesis: (Average number of males who have only beards is not more than Average number of males who have only mustaches, have both mustaches and beards, or have neither mustaches nor beards. )
where
= Average number of males who have only beards
= Average number of males who have only mustaches, have both mustaches and beards, or have neither mustaches nor beards
Question 5:
Failure to reject the null hypothesis indicates that the difference is not significant.
Conclusion:
The data do not support the claim that Average number of males who
have only beards is more than Average number of males who have only
mustaches, have both mustaches and beards, or have neither
mustaches nor beards.
Question 6:
Rejection of the null hypothesis indicates that the difference is significant.
Conclusion:
The data support the claim that Average number of males who have
only beards is more than Average number of males who have only
mustaches, have both mustaches and beards, or have neither
mustaches nor beards.
