The accurate alternative hypothesis is
A) pm-pj
0
Note : The null hypothesis is the hypothesis of no difference ,
in null hypothesis we generally put the sign "=" or ""
and "
".
The null hypothesis is the opposite of alternative hypothesis ,
which is the research question here .
The research question is there a difference between the two
population proportions . Thus it is a non directional test . That
is why we put
sign . If the research question were one population proportion is
more than the other , the alternative hypothesis would have taken
the sign '>' or '<'.
