Researchers speculate that drivers who do not wear a seatbelt are more likely to speed than drivers who do wear one. A random sample of 20 drivers had their speed measured at a certain point, and were then observed to see whether they were wearing a seatbelt. Summary statistics for the drivers are shown below: Summary statistics for speed: Grouped by: seatbelt Seatbelt n mean Std. dev. n 8 72.5 8.815571 y 12 65.333336 7.487363 A test was carried out to test the null hypothesis that the mean speed was equal for the drivers wearing and not wearing seatbelts, against the alternative that drivers not wearing seat belts travel faster on average. The test statistic was -1.889 (seatbelt mean minus non-sentbelt mean). Using the methods learned in class, what can you say about the P-value for this test statistic? (a) 0.0588 (b) larger than 0.10 (c) 0.0294 (d) between 0,05 and 0.10 (e) between 0.025 and 0.05
