You want to examine the difference in the proportion of all UCF (1) and USF (2) students who prefer to use hand sanitizer.
1. Which test should be used to determine if a difference exists between the proportion of all UCF and USF students who prefer to use hand sanitizer?
a. z test for means t test for means.
b. z test for proportions paired.
c. z test for means.
d. paired t test for means.
2. Which alternative hypothesis should be used to determine if a difference exists between the proportion of all UCF and USF students who prefer to use hand sanitizer?
A. HA : mu1 - mu2 < 0.
B. HA : mu1 - mu2 is not equal to 0.
C. HA : mu1 - mu2 > 0.
D. HA : p1 - p2 < 0.
E. HA : p1 -p2 > 0.

Answer:

1. a. z test for means and t test for means.

2. C. HA : mu1 - mu2 > 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Hypothesis testing is used in a situation where there are more than 1 alternative available. The t test is conducted in the mean which determines the t value and then this value is compared with p value to identify the situation whether to accept or reject the null hypothesis. The alternative hypothesis in this situation is is represented by mu.
