am seeking help on the bullet points starting with "Find the test statistic..." and ending with "Explain what the p-value represents. Here is the scenario and the pertinent data. A biologist believes that the population of rats in a subway tunnel may actually be a new subspecies, because they appear to be heavier on average than those above ground. This is the statistics gathered with the weight in ounces: Rats in tunnel: Rats above ground: n = 97 n = 76
I am seeking help on the bullet points starting with "Find the test statistic..." and ending with "Explain what the p-value represents. Here is the scenario and the pertinent data. A biologist believes that the population of rats in a subway tunnel may actually be a new subspecies, because they appear to be heavier on average than those above ground. This is the statistics gathered with the weight in ounces:
Rats in tunnel: Rats above ground:
n = 97 n = 76
Mean1 = 29.1. Mean2 = 28.3
S.Dev = 2.7 S.Dev = 2.4
Does she have enough evidence to conclude that the subway rats are heavier on average? What is the relationship between this test and the confidence intervals for the two means?
