Hypothesis testing application

Review the following example:

Example: Compared the smoking cessation rates for smokers randomly assigned to use a nicotine patch versus a placebo patch.

Null: There is no difference in smoking rates from smokers who were randomly assigned to a nicotine patch and those assigned to a placebo patch.

Alternative: There is a difference in smoking rates from smokers who were randomly assigned to a nicotine patch and those assigned to a placebo patch.

Using your dissertation work (the lack of financial literacy taught in schools), develop your null and alternative hypotheses that are written in correct form and measurable. 

Once these have been developed, determine the descriptive and inferential statistics you will use. 

Include a brief written explanation of how this might be analyzed.
