Question

A soil scientist has just developed a new type of fertilizer and she wants to determine whether it helps carrots grow larger.  She sets up several pots of soil and plants one carrot seed in each pot.  Fertilizer is added to half the pots.  All the pots are placed in a temperature-controlled greenhouse where they receive adequate light and equal amounts of water. After two months of growth, the scientist harvests the carrots and weighs them (in kilograms).  Below is a data table showing the weight of the carrots at the end of the growing period from the two treatment groups.

When analyzing this dataset with a t-test, the  hypothesis states that the average size of the carrots from each treatment are the same, whereas the  hypothesis states that the fertilized carrots are larger in size.

To analyze this data set, should the scientist use a -tailed t-test? 

After performing a t-test, what is the calculated t-value for this data set?  (Round your answer to four decimal places)

Use the table below to report the critical t-value for the appropriate t-test 

Would you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis?
