a.) There is no difference in the average medical expenses of patients with congestive heart failure versus those with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

b.) The null hypothesis was accepted

c.)  There is a difference in the average medical expenses of patients with congestive heart failure versus those with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

d.)  The alternative hypothesis was rejected.

a.) There is no difference in the average medical expenses of patients with congestive heart failure versus those with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

c.)  There is a difference in the average medical expenses of patients with congestive heart failure versus those with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

d.)  The alternative hypothesis was rejected.

Explanation / Answer

Since the p - value is less than 0.05, we reject Ho. Hence,

There is a difference in the average medical expenses of patients with congestive heart failure versus those with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
