Question

Transcribed Image Text:Suppose μ₁ and ₂ are true mean stopping distances at 50 mph for cars of a certain type equipped with two different types of braking systems. Use the two-sample t test at
significance level 0.01 to test Ho: M₁ - μ₂ = -10 versus H₂: ₁-₂ < -10 for the following data: m = 8, x = 113.2, s₁=5.05, n = 8, y = 129.1, and s₂ = 5.35.
USE SALT
Calculate the test statistic and determine the P-value. (Round your test statistic to one decimal place and your P-value to three decimal places.)
t =
P-value =
State the conclusion in the problem context.
O Reject Ho. The data suggests that the difference between mean stopping distances is less than -10.
O Reject Ho. The data does not suggest that the difference between mean stopping distances is less than 10.
O Fail to reject Ho. The data suggests that the difference between mean stopping distances is less than -10.
O Fail to reject Ho. The data does not suggest that the difference between mean stopping distances is less than -10.

- The Department of Agriculture wants to determine whether the mean yield per acre for a particular variety of soybeans is different this year compared to the historical avg yield of 520 bushels per acre. Thus, the null and alternative hypotheses are Ho: mu = 520 Ha: mu is not = to 520 You set out to conduct a hypothesis test at the 95% level. Mean yields are distributed Normally. You take a sample of 36 different acres. From this sample, you calculate a mean yield of 573 and a std deviation of 24. Do you reject or not-reject the null hypothesis?
