In order to determine if the average bacteria content of southern flowing streams is significantly different from the average bacteria content of northern flowing streams, independent random samples of 35 southern flowing streams and 33 northern flowing streams were taken. Given the testing statistics below, determine if the data provides sufficient evidence to conclude that the average bacteria content of southern flowing streams is significantly different from the average bacteria content of northern flowing streams, at the 4% significance level.

  • H0:μs=μn
    Ha:μs≠μn
  • t0=2.084
  • t0.02=±1.778

Select the correct answer below:

 
Yes; the test statistic is between the critical values.
 
No; the test statistic is not between the critical values.
 
Yes; the test statistic is not between the critical values.
 
No; the test statistic is between the critical values.
