a. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the mean IQ scores for subjects with medium lead levels is higher than the mean for subjects with high lead levels.
What are the null and alternative hypotheses? Assume that population 1 consists of subjects with medium lead levels and population 2 consists of subjects with high lead levels.
A. H0: μ1 ≠ μ2
H1: μ1 > μ2
B. H0: μ1 = μ2
H1: μ1 ≠ μ2
C. H0: μ1 ≤ μ2
H1: μ1 > μ2
D. H0: μ1 = μ2
H1: μ1 > μ2
The test statistic, t, is ___________. (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
The P-value is ___________. (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
State the conclusion for the test.
A. Reject the null hypothesis. There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that subjects with medium lead levels have higher IQ scores.
B. Fail to reject the null hypothesis. There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that subjects with medium lead levels have higher IQ scores.
C. Fail to reject the null hypothesis. There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that subjects with medium lead levels have higher IQ scores.
D. Reject the null hypothesis. There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that subjects with medium lead levels have higher IQ scores.
b. Construct a confidence interval suitable for testing the claim that the mean IQ scores for subjects with medium lead levels is higher than the mean for subjects with high lead levels.
_________ < μ1 − μ2 < ______________
(Round to three decimal places as needed.)
Does the confidence interval support the conclusion of the test?
________ ( A. Yes, B. No ) because the confidence interval contains ________ ( A. zero, B. only negative values, C. only positive values).
