(b) Do the data indicate that the violent crime rate in the Rocky Mountain region is higher than in New England? Use a = 0.01.
(i)
What is the level of significance?
State the null and alternate hypotheses.
O Ho: H1 = H2i H: H1 # H2
O Ho: H1 < H2; H: Hj = H2
O Ho: H1 = H2i Hg: Hq <Hz
O Ho: H1 = H2i H: H1> H2
(ii) What sampling distribution will you use? What assumptions are you making?
O The standard normal. We assume that both population distributions are approximately normal with known standard deviations.
O The Student's t. We assume that both population distributions are approximately normal with unknown standard deviations.
O The Student's t. We assume that both population distributions are approximately normal with known standard deviations.

What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Test the difference u, - µz. Round your answer to three decimal places.)
(iii) Find (or estimate) the P-value.
O P-value > 0.250
O 0.125 < p-value < 0.250
O 0.050 < p-value < 0.125
O 0.025 < p-value < 0.050
O 0.005 < p-value < 0.025
O p-value < 0.005
Sketch the sampling distribution and show the area corresponding to the P-value.

(iv) Based on your answers in parts (a) to (c), will you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis? Are the data statistically significant at level a?
O At the a = 0.01 level, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are not statistically significant.
O At the a = 0.01 level, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are statistically significant.
O At the a = 0.01 level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are not statistically significant.
O At the a = 0.01 level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are statistically significant.
(v) Interpret your conclusion in the context of the application.
O Reject the null hypothesis, there is sufficient evidence that violent crime in the Rocky Mountain region is higher than in New England.
O Reject the null hypothesis, there is insufficient evidence that violent crime in the Rocky Mountain region is higher than in New England.
O Fail to reject the null hypothesis, there is insufficient evidence that violent crime in the Rocky Mountain region is higher than in New England.
O Fail to reject the null hypothesis, there is sufficient evidence that violent crime in the Rocky Mountain region is higher than in New England.
