 x2= 5.625
 s2= 2.8754
(i)Level of significance: .05
H0: ?1 = ?2H1: ?1 < ?2
(ii) The Student's t. We assume that both population distributions are approximately normal with unknown standard deviations.
 value of the sample test statistic: -0.598
(iii) P-value > 0.250
 
(iv) Based on your answers in parts (i)−(iii), will you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis? Are the data statistically significant at level ??
 
  • At the ? = 0.05 level, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are statistically significant.
  • At the ? = 0.05 level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are statistically significant.    
  • At the ? = 0.05 level, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are not statistically significant.
  • At the ? = 0.05 level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are not statistically significant.

(v) Interpret your conclusion in the context of the application.

  • Reject the null hypothesis, there is insufficient evidence that the mean time lost due to stressors is greater than the mean time lost due to intimidators.
  • Reject the null hypothesis, there is sufficient evidence that the mean time lost due to stressors is greater than the mean time lost due to intimidators.    
  • Fail to reject the null hypothesis, there is insufficient evidence that the mean time lost due to stressors is greater than the mean time lost due to intimidators.
  • Fail to reject the null hypothesis, there is sufficient evidence that the mean time lost due to stressors is greater than the mean time lost due to intimidators.
