The null, Ho, indicates that there is either no relationship or a positive relationship between Amazon’s growth over the past ten years and number of Best Buy brick and mortar locations. The alternative, H1, seeks to prove that there is a negative relationship between the variables, Amazon and Best Buy brick and mortar locations. In other words, Amazon’s growth is negatively impacting Best Buy by forcing store location closures. Using a 95% confidence interval, construct a test of hypothesis using the...
