Multiple Choice

SCENARIO 10-1
Are Japanese managers more motivated than American managers? A randomly selected group of each were administered the Sarnoff Survey of Attitudes Toward Life (SSATL) , which measures motivation for upward mobility.The SSATL scores are summarized below. $$\begin{array} { l l l } & \text { American } & \text { Japanese } \\\text { Sample Size } & 211 & 100 \\\text { Sample Mean SSATL Score } & 65.75 & 79.83 \\\text { Sample Std. Dev. } & 11.07 & 6.41\end{array}$$
-Referring to Scenario 10-1, give the null and alternative hypotheses to determine if the meanSSATL score of Japanese managers differs from the mean SSATL score of American managers.

A) $H _ { 0 } : \mu _ { A } - \mu _ { J } \geq 0 \text { versus } H _ { 1 } : \mu _ { A } - \mu _ { J } < 0$
B) $H _ { 0 } : \mu _ { A } - \mu _ { J } \leq 0 \text { versus } H _ { 1 } : \mu _ { A } - \mu _ { J } > 0$
C) $H _ { 0 } : \mu _ { A } - \mu _ { J } = 0 \text { versus } H _ { 1 } : \mu _ { A } - \mu _ { J } \neq 0$
D) $H _ { 0 } : \bar { X } _ { A } - \bar { X } _ { J } = 0 \text { versus } H _ { 1 } : \bar { X } _ { A } - \bar { X } _ { J } \neq 0$
