Events.
A) $ \mathrm{H}_{0} $ : The median for adults ages 24 to 34 is equal to the median for adults ages 35 to 45 . $ \mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{A}} $ : The median for adults ages 24 to 34 is greater than the median for adults ages 35 to 45 .
B) $ \mathrm{H}_{0} $ : The median for adults ages 24 to 34 is equal to the median for adults ages 35 to 45 . $ \mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{A}} $ : The median for the two age groups are not equal.
C) $ \mathrm{H}_{0} $ : The median for the two age groups are not equal.
$ \mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{A}} $ : The median for adults ages 24 to 34 is equal to the median for adults ages 35-45.
D) $ \mathrm{H}_{0} $ : The median for adults ages 24 to 34 is equal to the median for adults ages 35 to 45 . $ \mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{A}} $ : The median for adults ages 24 to 34 is less than the median for adults ages 35 to 45 .
