Question

A consumer advocate researches the length of life between two brands of refrigerators, Brand A and Brand B. He collects data  (measured in years) on the longevity of 40 refrigerators for Brand A and repeats the sampling for Brand B. These data are measured in years. (Screenshotted table)

b-1. Calculate the value of the test statistic. Assume that σA2 = 4.8 and σB2 = 6.4. (Negative values should be indicated by a minus sign. Round intermediate calculations to at least 4 decimal places and final answer to 2 decimal places.)

Test Statistic -

b-2. Find the p-value.

(Which one is correct below)

  • 0.025 ≤ p-value < 0.05
  • 0.01 ≤ p-value < 0.025
  • p-value < 0.01
  • p-value ≥ 0.10
  • 0.05 ≤ p-value < 0.10

c. At the 10% significance level, what is the conclusion?

(Which one is correct below)

  • Do not reject H0, there is no evidence that the average life differs between the brands.
  • Reject H0, there is no evidence that the average life differs between the brands.
  • Do not reject H0, there is evidence that the average life differs between the brands.
  • Reject H0, there is evidence that the average life differs between the brands
