In an agronomic field experiment, 4 blocks of land were each subdivided in to two plots, each of equal area. Each block provided two paired observations: one for each of the varieties of wheat. The sample means are 31.52 lbs. and 33.17 lbs., giving rise to the mean difference of-l .65 lbs. The difference has a sample standard deviation of 0.68 lb. For testing equality of the two population means, what would be the computed statistic? A. -4.85

Question

In an agronomic field experiment, 4 blocks of land were each subdivided in to two plots, each of
equal area. Each block provided two paired observations: one for each of the varieties of
wheat. The sample means are 31.52 lbs. and 33.17 lbs., giving rise to the mean difference
of-l .65 lbs. The difference has a sample standard deviation of 0.68 lb. For testing equality
of the two population means, what would be the computed statistic?

A. -4.85

B. -2.43

C. -1.21

D. -0.61

2.What would be your decision using classical approach for problem no. 15 above for testing
if mean weights of the two varieties are equal? (assume level of significance = 5%)

A. The computed test statistic falls in the rejection region and so we do not reject the null hypothesis
 
B. The computed test statistic falls in the rejection region and so we reject the null hypothesis
 
C. The computed test statistic does not fall in the rejection region and so we do not reject the null hypothesis
 
D. The computed test statistic does not fall in the rejection region and so we reject the null hypothesis
