Do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean number of seeds detected differs for the two methods? Test the relevant hypotheses using

? = 0.05.

(Use ?_direct − ?_stratified.)

Find the test statistic. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

t =

Find the df. (Round your answer down to the nearest whole number.)

df =

Use technology to find the P-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

P-value =

State your conclusion.

Fail to reject H₀. We do not have convincing evidence that the mean number of seeds detected differs for the two methods.Reject H₀.
