For this study, we should use Select an answer z-test for a population proportion z-test for the difference between two population proportions t-test for the difference between two dependent population means t-test for a population
- The null and alternative hypotheses would be:
H0:H0: Select an answer p1 μ1 μd Select an answer ≠ > = < Select an answer 0 μ2 p2 (please enter a decimal)
H1:H1: Select an answer μ1 μd p1 Select an answer > < ≠ = Select an answer μ2 0 p2 (Please enter a decimal)
- The test statistic ? t z = (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.)
- The p-value = (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.)
- The p-value is ? ≤ > αα
- Based on this, we should Select an answer reject fail to reject accept the null hypothesis.
- Thus, the final conclusion is that ...
- The results are statistically significant at αα = 0.05, so there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the nine runners finished in less time on average with music compared to running without music.
- The results are statistically insignificant at αα = 0.05, so there is statistically significant evidence to conclude that the population mean running time with music is equal to the population mean running time without music.
- The results are statistically significant at αα = 0.05, so there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the population mean running time with music is less than the population mean running time without music.
- The results are statistically insignificant at αα = 0.05, so there is insufficient evidence to conclude that the population mean running time with music is less than the population mean running time without music.
- Interpret the p-value in the context of the study.
- There is a 31.53% chance that the mean running time for the 9 runners with music is at least 0.7 minutes less than the mean time for these 9 runners without music.
- If the population mean running time with music is the same as the population mean running time without music and if another 9 runners compete with and without music then there would be a 31.53% chance that the mean running time for the 9 runners would be at least 0.7 minutes less with music compared to them running without music.
- There is a 31.53% chance of a Type I error.
- If the sample mean running time with music for the 9 runners is the same as the sample mean running time without music for these 9 runners and if another 9 runners are observed running the 10K with and without music then there would be a 31.53% chance of concluding that the mean running time with music for the 9 runners is at least 0.7 minutes less than the mean running time for these 9 runners without music.
- Interpret the level of significance in the context of the study.
- If the population mean running time with music is the same as the population mean running time without music and if another 9 runners compete in the 10K with and without music, then there would be a 5% chance that we would end up falsely concluding that the sample mean running times with music and without music for these 9 runners differ from each other.
- There is a 5% chance that the population mean running time is the same with and without music.
- There is a 5% chance that the runners aren't in good enough shape to run a 10K, so music is irrelevant.
- If the population mean running time with music is the same as the population mean running time without music and if another 9 runners compete with and without music then there would be a 5% chance that we would end up falsely concluding that the population mean running time with music is less than the population mean running time without music
