Given:

There are two competing companies.

Required:

We need to find the alternative hypothesis

Step-by-step explanation:

If the null hypothesis assumes equal average salaries (i.e. no difference), then the alternative can take on three cases:

A)

One mean is greater than the other

B)

One mean smaller than the other

C)

The means are not equal

Now here A and B sound the same, so I shoukd be more precise,
