Polydactyl cats are cats with extra toes. A researcher believes that the proportion of the population of polydactyl cats in region A is greater than the proportion in region B. Let pB represent the population proportion of polydactyl cats in region A, and let pB represent the population proportion of polydactyl cats in region B. Which of the following are the appropriate hypotheses to test the researchers belief? A. H0 : PA - PB = 0
Ha : PA is not equal to 0.
B. H0 : PA - PB = 0
Ha : PA - P > = 0
C. H0 : PA - PB = 0
Ha : PA - 0 < 0
D. H0 : P^a - P^b = 0
Ha : P^a - P^b is not equal to 0
E. H0 : P^a - P^b = 0
Ha : P^a - P^b > = 0

B.

H0 : PA - PB = 0

Ha : PA - PB > = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The Null hypothesis refers to the initial truth in which of there is no significant evidence provided by statistical analysis will remain ; else, the alternative hypothesis which is the opposite of the Null will be favored in place of the Null.

In the scenario above, the claim by the researcher, that "the proportion of the population of polydactyl cats in region A is greater than the proportion in region B." is the Alternative hypothesis ; Ha : PA - PB > = 0 while the Null will be of the notion that the proportion of polydactyl cats in region A and region B are the same.
