Question

Is the average time to complete an obstacle course different when a patch is placed over the right eye than when a patch is placed over the left eye? Thirteen randomly selected volunteers first completed an obstacle course with a patch over one eye and then completed an equally difficult obstacle course with a patch over the other eye. The completion times are shown below. "Left" means the patch was placed over the left eye and "Right" means the patch was placed over the right eye.

Right 48 48 50 50 44 43 49 45
Left 49 50 53 51 46 48 48 45

Assume a Normal distribution.  What can be concluded at the the αα = 0.01 level of significance level of significance?

 

  1. The p-value is     αα
  2. Based on this, we should      the null hypothesis.
  3. Thus, the final conclusion is that ...
    • The results are statistically insignificant at αα = 0.01, so there is statistically significant evidence to conclude that the population mean time to complete the obstacle course with a patch over the right eye is equal to the population mean time to complete the obstacle course with a patch over the left eye.
    • The results are statistically significant at αα = 0.01, so there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the population mean time to complete the obstacle course with a patch over the right eye is not the same as the population mean time to complete the obstacle course with a patch over the left eye.
    • The results are statistically insignificant at αα = 0.01, so there is insufficient evidence to conclude that the population mean time to complete the obstacle course with a patch over the right eye is not the same as the population mean time to complete the obstacle course with a patch over the left eye.
    • The results are statistically significant at αα = 0.01, so there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the eight volunteers that were completed the course in the same amount of time on average with the patch over the right eye compared to the left eye.
