Multiple Choice

Data were collected on annual personal time (in hours) taken by a random sample of 16 women (group1) and 7 men (group 2) employed by a medium sized company.The women
Took an average of 24.75 hours of personal time per year with a standard deviation of 2.84

B) $\mathrm{H}_{0:} \mu_{1}-\mu_{2}=0$ and $\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{A}:} \mu_{1}-\mu_{2} \neq 0$ .
C) $\mathrm{H}_{0:} \mu_{1}-\mu_{2}=0$ and $\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{A}:} \mu_{1}-\mu_{2}>0$ .
D) $\mathrm{H}_{0:} \mu_{1}-\mu_{2}>0$ and $\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{A}:} \mu_{1}-\mu_{2}<0$ .
