Question

A boss wants to show that productivity decreases when the boss leaves the office. An office of 26 employees handed in productivity reports when the boss was absent (M1=5, SS1=250) compared to 36 employees who handed in reports when the boss was present (M2=8, SS2=420).

 

a) What is the null and alternative hypothesis?

 

a  

Ho:μ 1-μ2≠0; H1:μ 1-μ2=0

 

b  

Ho:μ 1-μ2<0; H1:μ 1-μ2>0 

c  

Ho:μ 1-μ2=0; H1:μ 1-μ2≠0   

 

d  

Ho:μ 1-μ2>0; H1:μ 1-μ2<0

 

b) Compute tobt?

c) Compute df?

d) Given the α=0.05, compute the negative value of tcrit?

e) Is tobt significant?
