Question

You work at Happy Joe's family restaurant and want to see if customer meal satisfaction and gender are related to one another. You take a sample of customers and ask them if they were satisfied with their meal and note their gender. To determine if Satisfaction and Gender are dependent, what are the appropriate hypotheses

Answer 1

`H_o :` Satisfaction and Gender are independent of one another

`H_a :` Satisfaction and Gender are dependent of one another

Explanation:

Given

Parameters: Meal satisfaction and Gender

Test: If both parameters are dependent

Required

The appropriate hypotheses

To do this, we set the null hypothesis to independence of both parameters

i.e.

`H_o :` Satisfaction and Gender are independent of one another

The alternate hypothesis will be the opposite, i.e. dependence of both parameters

i.e.

`H_a :` Satisfaction and Gender are dependent of one another
