Question

I am needing help with part 1 through 3, please

 

The data of Saltwater and Plain Water:

  mean # of drops variance degrees of freedom t stat t crit (from the table)
plain water 26.2 16.221 31 -7.7 2.042
saltwater 14.5 5.692

 

1.  Make a statement about t-stat in relation to t-crit. And what is the p-value?

2. Is there a statistically significant difference between the mean values (mean # of drops) of the salt and plain water?  Give your "yes" or "no" answer and the supporting evidence.

3. Hypothesis: The surface tension of plain water is higher than the surface tension of salt water.  Do these results support or refute the hypothesis about the effect of dissolving salt in water on surface tension?
