Question
A gallon of paint claims to cover 400 sq ft. To test this, a research lab obtained 30 random gallons of paint and recruited 30 volunteers to each paint as much wall space as they could with
a gallon, and the lab techs measured the area covered. They computed a mean of 396 sq ft with a standard deviation of 27 sq ft. They performed a test of hypothesis to determine of the
true coverage is less than claimed. They computed a p-value of 0.212. Using an alpha of 0.05, which of the following is the most appropriate conclusion?
For the instructor, this was question 15.
X Since the p-value is not small, we have insufficient evidence to conclude that the true proportion of coverage is less than 400 sq ft.
X Since the p-value is not small, we have sufficient evidence to conclude that the true mean amount of coverage is less than 400 sq ft.
X Since the p-value is not small, we have sufficient evidence to conclude that the true mean amount of coverage is 400 sq ft.
/ Since the p-value is not small, we have insufficient evidence to conclude that the true mean amount of coverage is less than 400 sq ft.
X Since the p-value is small, we have sufficient evidence to conclude that the true proportion of coverage is less than 400 sq ft.
