A chemist is interested in comparing four different catalysts by measuring reaction times.Each catalyst is tested five times,with each experiment randomly assigned one of the four catalysts.

A) H0: μcat ≠ μtest vs.the alternative that catalyst and test mean times are equal
B) H0: μ1 ≠ μ2 ≠ μ3 ≠ μ4 ≠ μ5 vs.the alternative that all the test mean times are equal
C) H0: μ1 = μ2 = μ3 = μ4 vs.the alternative that not all the catalyst mean times are equal
D) H0: μ1 ≠ μ2 ≠ μ3 ≠ μ4 vs.the alternative that all the catalyst mean times are equal
E) H0: μ1 = μ2 = μ3 = μ4 = μ5 vs.the alternative that not all the test mean times are equal

Catalysts

Substances that increase the rate of a chemical reaction without being consumed in the reaction, thereby facilitating the process without undergoing permanent chemical changes themselves.

Reaction Times

The amount of time it takes to respond to a stimulus. This can vary based on a wide range of factors, including attention and fatigue.

Null Hypothesis

A statement positing that there is no significant difference or effect, serving as the default assumption in statistical testing.

  • Construct null and alternative hypotheses to compare means among various groups.
