To compare the effectiveness of two kinds of bumper guards, two independent random samples of six compact cars were outfitted with one of the two guards (6 cars with type 1 and 6 cars with type 2). Then, each car was run into a concrete wall at 5 mph. The average damage estimate for guard 1 was $1440. We know that the population variance of damage using bumper type 1 is 3632. The guard 2 sample had an average of $1490. We know that the population variance of damage using bumper type 2 is 2020. If we assume the populations are normally distributed, does it appear that the guards differ in ef

Question
To compare the effectiveness of two kinds of bumper guards, two independent random samples of six compact cars were outfitted with one of the two guards (6 cars with type 1 and 6 cars with type 2). Then, each car was run into a concrete wall at 5 mph. The average damage estimate for guard 1 was $1440. We know that the population variance of damage using bumper type 1 is 3632. The guard 2 sample had an average of $1490. We know that the population variance of damage using bumper type 2 is 2020. If we assume the populations are normally distributed, does it appear that the guards differ in effectiveness? Select the correct p-value and decision below. (Use α = 0.05.)
a.
p-value = 0.0516, fail to reject H0
b.
p-value = 0.1032, fail to reject H0
c.
p-value = 0.0516, reject H0
d.
p-value = 0.9894, fail to reject H0
