You wish to test the following claim (Ha) at a significance level of α=0.01. H0:μ1≤μ2Ha:μ1>μ2 You believe both populations are normally distributed, but you do not know the standard deviations for either. You obtain a sample of size n1=18 with a mean of M1=54.9 and a standard deviation of SD 1=7.9. You obtain a sample of size n2=17 with a mean of M2=48.5 and a standard deviation of SD2=18.9. test statistic = p-value = The p-value is...A.less than (or equal to) αB. greater than α This test statistic leads to a decision to...A. reject the null hypothesisB. fail to reject the null hypothesis As such, the final conclusion is that...A. There is sufficient sample evidence to support the claim that the first population mean is greater than the second population mean.B. There is not sufficient sample evidence to support the claim that the first population mean is greater than the second population mean.

Assume that we want to construct a confidence interval. Do one of the​ following, as​ appropriate: (a) find the critical value tα/2​, ​(b) find the critical value zα/2​, or​ (c) state that neither the normal distribution nor the t distribution applies.   Here are summary statistics for randomly selected weights of newborn​ girls: n=167​, x=28.2 ​hg, s=6.2 hg. The confidence level is 95​%. Select the correct choice below​ and, if​ necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice.     A. tα/2=   nothing ​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.)   B. zα/2=   nothing ​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.)   C. Neither the normal distribution nor the t distribution applies.

It is crucial that the variance of a production process be less than or equal to 25. A sample of 22 is taken. The sample variance equaled 26. a. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the population variance.   b. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the population standard deviation.   c. Test at 10% level of significance that whether the variance of the production process exceeds its standard. (Use the critical value approach.) (You must state H0 and Ha, compute the test statistic, report the critical value, and draw conclusion.)
