Part 1
a. Use the sample data with a
0.01
significance level to test the claim that for the population of heights for presidents and their main​ opponents, the differences have a mean greater than 0 cm.
 
In this​ example,
μd
is the mean value of the differences d for the population of all pairs of​ data, where each individual difference d is defined as the​ president's height minus their main​ opponent's height. What are the null and alternative hypotheses for the hypothesis​ test?
 
H0​:
μd
 
less than<

greater than>
not equals≠

cm
H1​:
μd
 
equals=
less than<
not equals≠
greater than>
enter your response here
cm
​(Type integers or decimals. Do not​ round.)
Part 2
Identify the test statistic.
 
t=enter your response here
​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.)
Part 3
Identify the​ P-value.
 
​P-value=enter your response here
​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)
Part 4
What is the conclusion based on the hypothesis​ test?
 
Since the​ P-value is
 
less than or equal to
greater than
the significance​ level,
 
fail to reject
reject
the null hypothesis. There
 
is not
is
sufficient evidence to support the claim that presidents tend to be taller than their opponents.
Part 5
b. Construct the confidence interval that could be used for the hypothesis test described in part​ (a). What feature of the confidence interval leads to the same conclusion reached in part​ (a)?
 
The confidence interval is
enter your response here
cm<μd<enter your response here
cm.
​(Round to one decimal place as​ needed.)
Part 6
What feature of the confidence interval leads to the same conclusion reached in part​ (a)?
 
Since the confidence interval contains
 
only negative numbers,
only positive numbers,
zero,
 
fail to reject
reject
the null hypothesis.
