The Batteries sheet of the Data Excel file shows the results of two random samples that measured the average number of minutes per charge for AA Lithium-ion (Li-ion) rechargeable batteries versus Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) rechargeable batteries.

Perform a hypothesis test using significance level (α) = 0.05 to determine if the true average number of minutes per charge for NiMH batteries is smaller than that for Li-ion batteries.

Let:µLi-ion be the true average number of minutes per charge for Li-ion batteries

µNiMH be the true average number of minutes per charge for NiMH batteries.

  t-Test: Two-Sample Assuming Unequal Variances
         
    NiMH Li-ion  
  Mean 89.35714 95  
  Variance 3.93956 59.75  
  Observations 14 17  
  Hypothesized Mean Difference 0    
  df 19    
  t Stat -2.89621    
  P(T<=t) one-tail 0.004628    
  t Critical one-tail 1.729133    
  P(T<=t) two-tail 0.009255    
  t Critical two-tail 2.093024    

 

Based on the graph and the given information, why the two-sample t-test is valid for this study? (select all that are true).

 options:
 

The sample data contain no outliers.

 

The sample size is large enough (because n1+n2 = 14+17 = 31 is not more than 40).

 

The sample data contain at least one outlier.

 

Each population can reasonably be assumed to be normal because sampled data do not deviate much from a normal distribution.

 

Each population cannot reasonably be assumed to be normal because samples do not have approximately a normal distributions.

 

The samples are random and independent.

 

The samples are not independent.

 

The samples are not random.

 

Select the correct answer for null and alternative hypotheses for this test.

 

 options:

 

H0 : µNiMH - µLi-ion  = 0              H1 : µNiMH - µLi-ion  < 0

 

H0 : µNiMH - µLi-ion   = 0           H1 : µNiMH - µLi-ion > 0

 

H0 : µNiMH - µLi-ion   = 0              H1 : µNiMH - µLi-ion  ≠ 0

From the data given from the t Test: Two Sample Assuming Unequal Variances chart what would be the P value?

Options:

89.357

0.0046

1.729

0.0093

2.093

 

Based on your two-sample t-test output in the Excel file, select the conclusion at 5% significance level.

 

 options:

 

p-value is larger than significance level. Do not reject H0

There is insufficient evidence to conclude that true average number of minutes per charge for NiMH batteries is smaller than that for Li-ion batteries.

 

p-value is larger than significance level. Do not reject H0

There is insufficient evidence to conclude that true average number of minutes per charge for NiMH batteries is larger than that for Li-ion batteries.

 

p-value is smaller than significance level. Reject H0

There is sufficient evidence to conclude that true average number of minutes per charge for NiMH batteries is smaller than that for Li-ion batteries.

 

p-value is smaller than significance level. Reject H0

There is sufficient evidence to conclude that true average number of minutes per charge for NiMH batteries is larger than that for Li-ion batteries.
