Statistics Problem

Nine experts rated two brands of coffee in a taste-testing experiment. A rating on a 7-point scale (1 = extremely unpleasing, 7 = extremely pleasing) is given for each of four characteristics: taste, aroma, richness, and acidity. The
accompanying data table contains the ratings accumulated over all four characteristics. Complete parts (a) through (d) below.
E Click the icon to view the data table.
a. At the 0.01 level of significance, is there evidence of a difference in the mean ratings between the two brands?
Let u, be the mean rating for brand A and 42 be the mean rating for brand B. Determine the null and alternative hypotheses for this test.
O B. Ho: Ho sO (where up =H1 -42)
O A. Ho: Ho =0 (where Hp = H -H2)
H: Ho #0
H;: Hp >0
Oc. Ho: Ho 20 (where Pp "H, - P2)
O D. Ho: Ho #0 (where Hp =H1 -P2)
H: Hp <0
H4: HD =0
The test statistic is tSTAT =
(Type an integer or a decimal. Round to two decimal places as needed.)
The critical value(s) is(are)
(Type integers or decimals. Round to two decimal places as needed. Use a comma to separate answers as needed.)

b. What assumption is necessary about the population distribution in order to perform this test?
A. It must be assumed that the distribution of the differences between the measurements is approximately uniform.
B. It must be assumed that the distribution of the differences between the measurements is approximately normal.
C. It must be assumed that the distribution of the differences between the measurements is skewed.
c. Determine the p-value in (a) and interpret its meaning.
The test statistic gives a p-value of
(Type an integer or a decimal. Round to three decimal places as needed.)
Interpret the meaning of the p-value in (a). Choose the correct answer below.
A. The p-value is the probability of obtaining a sample mean difference less extreme than this one if the population mean ratings for the two brands are the same.
B. The p-value is the probability of obtaining a sample mean difference at least as extreme as this one if the population mean ratings for the two brands are the same.
C. The p-value is the probability of failing to reject the null hypothesis when it is actually false.
d. Construct a 99% confidence interval estimate of the difference in the mean ratings between the two brands. Recall that up = 41 - H2, where µ1 is the mean rating for brand A and 42 is the mean rating for brand B.
The 99% confidence interval estimate is
_SHDS_
