In order to determine whether the median distance for the X-Special golf ball exceeds the median distance for the best-selling golf ball,six golfers were selected and asked to hit each ball with their driver.The distance was recorded.The following data were observed.  The appropriate null and alternative hypotheses are:

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The null hypothesis would be that the median distance for the X-Special golf ball is less than or equal to the median distance for the best-selling golf ball, while the alternative hypothesis would be that the median distance for the X-Special golf ball exceeds the median distance for the best-selling golf ball. Therefore, the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses are likely to be:

H0: median distance for X-Special <= median distance for best-selling
Ha: median distance for X-Special > median distance for best-selling
