QUESTION 18 "A political scientist obtained recordings of election-night acceptance speeches of 18 newly elected representatives to the U.S. Congress and counted the number of minutes devoted to fiscal problems in these speeches. Half of the representatives were from rural districts while the other half were from urban districts. If she observed test statistics of t = 2.08, what would be the correct decision and MOST appropriate conclusion if testing at the alpha= 0.05 level?" O Reject Null Hypothesis (HO). There was a significant difference between urban and rural politicians' time talking about fiscal problems. O Reject Null Hypothesis (HO). The urban politicians spent more time talking about fiscal problems than the rural representatives. O Retain Null Hypothesis (HO): There is no evidence that the politicians spent a different amount of time speaking about fiscal issues.
