A) μ1 = μ2
B) μ1 - μ2 = 0
C) μ1 - μ2 ≠ 0
D) In testing the difference between two means, what is implied by the alternative hypothesis (H<sub>1</sub>) ? A)  μ<sub>1</sub> = μ<sub>2</sub> B)  μ<sub>1</sub> - μ<sub>2</sub> = 0 C)  μ<sub>1</sub> - μ<sub>2</sub> ≠ 0 D)

Means

Means refer to the average values of sets of data, calculated by summing all values and dividing by the number of data points.

≠ 0

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The alternative hypothesis states that there is a difference between the means of the two groups being compared, which is represented by the inequality symbol ≠ (not equal to). Therefore, choice C is the best choice. Choices A and B do not reflect the alternative hypothesis, and choice D appears to be a random string of characters.
