Question
You suspect that your east-facing portion of your Macintosh apple orchard is
producing less apples than your west facing portion. You decide to conduct a study
of your apple trees to determine the average production of apples per tree as
measured in bushels for both sections. Conduct a hypothesis test at 5% level of
significance to determine if the East facing section is producing significantly less
apples per tree compared to the West facing section. Use the table below.

The West-facing section is producing significantly less apples per tree on
average when compared to the East-facing section.
We do not have enough evidence at this time to support the hypothesis that the
East-facing section is producing significantly less apples per tree on average
when compared to the West-facing section.
The East-facing section is producing significantly less apples per tree on average
when compared to the West-facing section.
There is a significant difference between the two sections although we cannot
determine which section is producing on average more or less apples per tree.
We do not have enough information to answer this question.
