[R] {10,20,30}>={25,30,15}

[francogrex]

At the alpha level you set, A is neither greater nor less than B. Supposing
you don't use paired t.test: 
data:  c(10, 20, 30) and c(25, 30, 15) 
t = -0.4588, df = 3.741, p-value = 0.6717
alternative hypothesis: true difference in means is not equal to 0 
95 percent confidence interval:
 -24.06675  17.40008 
sample estimates:
mean of x mean of y 
 20.00000  23.33333 

it tells you what is the null and what is the alternative.
