Select one: a) H0 is rejected There is insufficient evidence to consider with 99% confidence that the head circumference of sixth grade boys is greater than that of girls in the same grade. b) H0 is not rejected It is ensured, with 99% confidence, that the head circumference of sixth grade boys is greater than that of girls c) H0 is not rejected There is insufficient evidence to consider with 99% confidence that the head circumference of sixth grade boys is greater than that of girls in the same grade. d) H0 is rejected It is ensured, with 99% confidence, that the head circumference of sixth grade boys is greater than that of girls
µ1 =
µ2 = mean of the children's head circumferences
To find out if the head circumferences of sixth-grade boys in primary school are larger, on average, than those of girls
A random sample of 17 boys and another of 15 girls was taken. Their head circumferences were measured and it was found that the mean in children was 48.8 cm. with a standard deviation of 0.5 cm. and that the mean in girls was 48.5 with a standard deviation of 0.4.
Can it be said, with α = 0.01, that the mean head circumference of boys is greater than that of girls?

- the correct conclusion
- the correct interpretation
Select one:
a)
H0 is rejected
There is insufficient evidence to consider with 99% confidence that the head circumference of sixth grade boys is greater than that of girls in the same grade.
b)
H0 is not rejected
It is ensured, with 99% confidence, that the head circumference of sixth grade boys is greater than that of girls
c)
H0 is not rejected
There is insufficient evidence to consider with 99% confidence that the head circumference of sixth grade boys is greater than that of girls in the same grade.
d)
H0 is rejected
It is ensured, with 99% confidence, that the head circumference of sixth grade boys is greater than that of girls
