Question

Consider the following competing hypotheses and accompanying sample data drawn independently from normally distributed populations. 

 
H0μ1 − μ2 = 0
HAμ1 − μ2 ≠ 0

 

   x−1x−1 = 65 x−2x−2 = 73
  σ1 = 13.00 σ2 = 1.53
  n1 = 20 n2 = 20

 

a-1.

Calculate the value of the test statistic. (Negative values should be indicated by a minus sign. Round all intermediate calculations to at least 4 decimal places and final answer to 2 decimal places.)

 

  Test statistic ?

 

a-2. Approximate the p-value.
   
  multiple choice 1
  • 0.01 
     
     p-value < 0.025
     
  • 0.025 
     
     p-value < 0.05
     
  • 0.05 
     
     p-value < 0.10
     
  • p-value 
     
     0.10
     
  • p-value < 0.01

 

a-3. Do you reject the null hypothesis at the 5% level?
   
  multiple choice 2
  • No, since the p-value is more than α.
  • No, since the p-value is less than α.
  • Yes, since the p-value is more than α
  • Yes, since the p-value is less than α.

 

  b. Using the critical value approach, can we reject the null hypothesis at the 5% level?
   
  multiple choice 3
  • No, since the value of the test statistic is not less than the critical value of-1.645.
  • No, since the value of the test statistic is not less than the critical value of -1.96.
  • Yes, since the value of the test statistic is less than the critical value of -1.645.
  • Yes, since the value of the test statistic is less than the critical value of -1.96.
