Create the null and alternative hypotheses for the following research problems! If you are taller, you are likely heavier!
This kind of problem can be solved using the chi-square test of independence. One can check if the height of a person and the weight of a person are dependent or independent.
For this test height and weight would be put in buckets and the groups will be compared
Null hypothesis: the two variables height and weight are independent.
Alternate hypothesis: the two variables height and weight are dependent.
Another way to obtain the regression line between the weight and height of a person and check for the significance of the slope of the regression line.
Null hypothesis: the true value of beta or slope of the regression line of height and weight is 0.
Alternate hypothesis: the true value of beta or slope of the regression line of height and weight is not 0.
