Use a 1% level of significance to test if there is a difference in the population mean hours per fish caught using a boat compared with fishing from the shore.

(a) What is the level of significance?

State the null and alternate hypotheses. Will you use a left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed test?

H_o: ?_d = 0; H₁: ?_d ≠ 0; two-tailedH_o: ?_d = 0; H₁: ?_d < 0; left-tailed H_o: ?_d ≠ 0; H₁: ?_d = 0; two-tailedH_o: ?_d = 0; H₁: ?_d > 0; right-tailed

(b) What sampling distribution will you use? What assumptions are you making?

The Student's t. We assume that d has an approximately normal distribution.The standard normal. We assume that d has an approximately normal distribution. The standard normal. We assume that d has an approximately uniform distribution.The Student's t. We assume that d has an approximately uniform distribution.

What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Use 3 decimal places.)

(c) Find (or estimate) the P-value. (Use degrees of freedom equal to the smaller of n₁− 1 and n₂ − 1. Use 4 decimal places.)

Sketch the sampling distribution and show the area corresponding to the P-value.

(d) Based on your answers in parts (a) to (c), will you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis? Are the data statistically significant at level ??

At the ? = 0.01 level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are not statistically significant.At the ? = 0.01 level, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are not statistically significant. At the ? = 0.01 level, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are statistically significant.At the ? = 0.01 level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are statistically significant.

(e) State your conclusion in the context of the application.

Fail to reject the null hypothesis, there is insufficient evidence to claim a difference in population mean hours per fish between boat fishing and shore fishing.Fail to reject the null hypothesis, there is sufficient evidence to claim a difference in population mean hours per fish between boat fishing and shore fishing. Reject the null hypothesis, there is insufficient evidence to claim a difference in population mean hours per fish between boat fishing and shore fishing.Reject the null hypothesis, there is sufficient evidence to claim a difference in population mean hours per fish between boat fishing and shore fishing.

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the average of a given data set. The mean value is evaluated as the quotient of the sum of all observations by the sample size. The mean, in contrast to a median, is affected by extreme values. Very large or very small values can distract the mean from the center of the data. Arithmetic mean: The most common type of mean is the arithmetic mean. It is evaluated using the formula: μ = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N x i Other types of means are the geometric mean, logarithmic mean, and harmonic mean. Geometric mean: The nth root of the product of n observations from a data set is defined as the geometric mean of the set: G = x 1 x 2 ... x n n Logarithmic mean: The difference of the natural logarithms of the two numbers, divided by the difference between the numbers is the logarithmic mean of the two numbers. The logarithmic mean is used particularly in heat transfer and mass transfer. ln x 2 − ln x 1 x 2 − x 1 Harmonic mean: The inverse of the arithmetic mean of the inverses of all the numbers in a data set is the harmonic mean of the data. 1 1 x 1 + 1 x 2 + ...
