Do men take more time than women to get out of bed in the morning? The 46 men observed averaged 6.5 minutes to get out of bed after the alarm rang. Their standard deviation was 1.1. The 45 women observed averaged 6 minutes and their standard deviation was 2.9 minutes. What can be concluded at the αα = 0.01 level of significance?

  1. For this study, we should use       
  2. The null and alternative hypotheses would be:   
  3.   

 H0:H0: u1 or p1, <,>,=,   u2, p2            (please enter a decimal)   

 H1:H1:  u1 or p1, <,>,=,   u2, p2               (Please enter a decimal)

  1. The test statistic z or t  is 1.083. Enter it here     (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.)
  2. The p-value is 0.1417. Enter it here      (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.)
  3. The p-value is   <,>  αα
  4. Based on this, we should fail to reject, accept,or reject      the null hypothesis.
  5. Thus, the final conclusion is that ...
    • The results are statistically significant at αα = 0.01, so there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean time to get out of bed in the morning for the 46 men that were observed is more than the mean time for the 45 women that were observed.
    • The results are statistically significant at αα = 0.01, so there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the population mean time for men to get out of bed in the morning is more than the population mean time for women to get out of bed in the morning.
    • The results are statistically insignificant at αα = 0.01, so there is insufficient evidence to conclude that the population mean time for men to get out of bed in the morning is more than the population mean time for women to get out of bed in the morning.
    • The results are statistically insignificant at αα = 0.01, so there is statistically significant evidence to conclude that the population mean time for men to get out of bed in the morning is equal to the population mean time for women to get out of bed in the morning.
  6. Interpret the p-value in the context of the study.
    • There is a 14.17% chance of a Type I error.
    • If the population mean time for men to get out of bed in the morning is the same as the population mean time for women to get out of bed in the morning and if another 46 men and 45 women are observed then there would be a 14.17% chance that the mean time to get out of bed for the 46 men would be at least 0.5 minutes more than the mean time to get out of bed for the 45 women.
    • If the sample mean time to get out of bed for the 45 men is the same as the sample mean time to get out of bed for the 45 women and if another 46 men and 45 women are observed then there would be a 14.17% chance of concluding that the mean time to get out of bed for the 46 men is at least 0.5 minutes more than the mean time to get out of bed for the 45 women
    • There is a 14.17% chance that the mean time to get out of bed for the 46 men is at least 0.5 minutes more than the mean time to get out of bed for the 45 women.
  7. Interpret the level of significance in the context of the study.
    • If the population mean time for men to get out of bed in the morning is the same as the population mean time for women to get out of bed in the morning and if another 46 men and 45 women are observed then there would be a 1% chance that we would end up falsely concluding that the population mean time for men to get out of bed in the morning is more than the population mean time for women to get out of bed in the morning
    • If the population mean time for men to get out of bed in the morning is the same as the population mean time for women to get out of bed in the morning and if another 46 men and 45 women are observed then there would be a 1% chance that we would end up falsely concluding that the sample mean time for these 46 men and 45 women to get out of bed in the morning differ from each other.
    • There is a 1% chance you will take so long to get out of bed in the morning that you will miss the deadline to complete this assignment.
    • There is a 1% chance that there is a difference in the population mean time for men and women to get out of bed in the morning.
