State the null and alternative hypotheses to determine if the mean score of medical students differs from the mean score of law students. A)H₀ : μ_M - μ_L ≥ 0 versus H₁ : μ_M - μ_L < 0 B)H₀ : μ_M - μ_L = 0 versus H₁ : μ_M - μ_L ≠ 0 C)H₀ : μ_M - μ_L ≤ 0 versus H₁ : μ_M - μ_L > 0 D)H₀ : _M - _L = 0 versus H₁ : _M - _L ≠ 0

The null hypothesis is that the mean score of medical students is equal to the mean score of law students, which is represented by μ_M - μ_L = 0. The alternative hypothesis is that the mean score of medical students differs from the mean score of law students, which is represented by μ_M - μ_L ≠ 0. This is the best choice as it covers both the possibilities that the mean score of medical students could be greater than or less than the mean score of law students.
