Question

The following questions make use of a dataset examining countries throughout the world. First, I want to test whether a country’s GDP is related to its status as a developed or developing country. I test two variables – GDP, measured in US dollars annually, and “develop,” measured as a zero / one variable – coded one if the UN considers the country developed (“develope”), and coded zero if the UN classifies it as developing (“developi”). Here is the output of my test:

What is my null and alternate hypothesis?

What kind of test did I conduct?

Explanation / Answer

you conducted t stastic test

H0: diff=0

Ha:diff<0

are the null and alternate hypothesis
