To find out the correct conclusion.

Answer to Problem T10.6SPT

Option (e) is the correct option.

Explanation of Solution

It is given that the p -value for the test is:

  $P=0.048$

As we know that, if the P-value is less than or equal to the significance level, then the null hypothesis is rejected:

  $P<0.05\Rightarrow \text{Reject }{H}_0$

There is a sufficient evidence of a difference between the population means.

Thus, correct option is (e) option i.e. $\text{Reject }{H}_0\text{ because }0.048<\alpha =0.05$ . There is a convincing evidence of a difference in the average time spent on the extracurricular activities by students in the suburban and city school districts.
