The best example of an alternate hypothesis for a global test of a multiple regression model is: A) H₁: $\beta$₁= $\beta$₂= $\beta$₃= $\beta$₄. B) H₁: $\beta$₁$\neq$$\beta$₂$\neq$$\beta$₃$\neq$$\beta$₄. C) H₁: Not all the $\beta$'s are 0. D) if F is less than 20.00 then fail to reject.

The alternate hypothesis for a global test of a multiple regression model should state that not all of the regression coefficients (betas) are equal to zero, which is what choice C states. Choices A and B appear to be nonsensical and possibly contain typographical errors. Choice D is not an alternate hypothesis, but rather a decision rule for conducting the global test.
