### Understanding Teen Addiction to NicotineA recent study evaluated how addicted teenagers become to nicotine once they start smoking. The study focused on the response variable, which was the number of "yes" answers on a questionnaire called the Hooked on Nicotine Checklist (HONC).- **Participants:** - **Females:** 141 with a mean HONC score of 3.8 (standard deviation, $ s = 4.4 $) - **Males:** 178 with a mean HONC score of 2.4 (standard deviation, $ s = 3.5 $)The study involves completing several statistical parts to interpret the data:#### a. Understanding Standard Error**Multiple-Choice Options:**- **A.** The standard error is the standard deviation of the sample for this study. - **B.** The standard error is the difference in standard deviations for the two populations. - **C.** The standard error is the standard deviation of the difference between $ x_1 - x_2 $. - **D.** **(Correct Answer)** The standard error describes the spread of the sampling distribution of $ x_1 - x_2 $.#### b. Calculating the Test Statistic and P-valueTo assess the impact of gender on the mean HONC score, conduct a hypothesis test:- **Null Hypothesis (H₀):** $ \mu_1 = \mu_2 $ - **Alternative Hypothesis (Hₐ):** $ \mu_1 \neq \mu_2 $ Use a significance level of 0.05 to interpret any gender effects on the mean HONC score. Calculation of the test statistic is required:\[\text{The test statistic is } \_\_ \text{ (Round to two decimal places as needed.)}\]This exercise encourages students to apply statistical concepts to real-world data, enhancing their understanding of hypothesis testing and gender-related differences in addictive behavior.
