- Thousands of motorists travel on Highway 27 everyday. Before installation of traffic cameras at mile marker 11, motorists' speeds averaged 72 mph. After installation of cameras, speeds averaged 67 mph. A paired samples t-test comparing the average speeds yielded a t-statistic of 1.02. Remember, the critical value at p=.05 is 1.96. Assuming our data meet the requirements for conducting a t-test, what can we conclude? There is less than a 5% chance that we would have observed this average difference if there really wasn't a difference in average speeds before and after the camera was installed. We cannot draw any conclusions because we should have used an independent samples t-test. We cannot draw any conclusions because we should have used a one-sample t-test. We cannot draw any conclusions becaue the p-value is not reported. We cannot draw any conclusions because the standard deviation was not reported. We do not have enough information to draw any conclusions.arrow_forwardThe average wind speed in Casper Wyoming has been found to 12.7 miles per hour and in Phoenix Arizona it is 6.2 mph.

Is there sufficient evidence at alpha = 0.05 to conclude that the average wind speed is greater in Casper or Phoenix ?
