N experiment was conducted to test the effect of a new stain remover. Twenty stains were treated with stain remover A and stain

remover B for a week, then the number of stains removed was measured. A significance test was conducted at the α = 0.10 level for the difference in the means of the number of stains removed between stain remover A and stain remover B. The test resulted in t = 1.37 and p = 0.17. If the alternative hypothesis in question is Ha: μA − μB ≠ 0, where μA equals the mean number of stains removed with stain remover A and μB equals the mean number of stains removed with stain remover B, what conclusion can be drawn?

Answer:

For this case the statistic calculated is t= 1.37

p_v =0.17

So the p value is a very high value and using the significance level  given\alpha=0.1 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and there is enough evidence to conclude that we have a difference between the two means at 10% of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

\bar X_{A} represent the mean for the sample for A

\bar X_{B} represent the mean for the sample B

s_{A} represent the sample standard deviation for the sample A

s_{B}= represent the sample standard deviation for the sample B

n_{A}=20 sample size for the group poisoned

n_{B}=20 sample size for the group unpoisoned

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

Concepts and formulas to use

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the two means are equal or not , the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis:\mu_{A} - \mu_{B} =0

Alternative hypothesis:\mu_{A} - \mu_{B} \neq 0

For this case is better apply a t test to compare means, and the statistic is given by:

t=\frac{\bar X_{A}-\bar X_{B}}{\sqrt{\frac{s^2_{A}}{n_{A}}+\frac{s^2_{B}}{n_{B}}}} (1)

t-test: Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine whether the means of two groups are equal to each other.

Calculate the statistic

For this case the statistic calculated is t= 1.37

Statistical decision

The significance level is 0.1 \alpha=0.1, but we can calculate the p value for this test. The first step is calculate the degrees of freedom, on this case:

df=n_{A}+n_{B}-2

The p value on this case is given

p_v =0.17

So the p value is a very high value and using the significance level  given\alpha=0,1 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and there is enough evidence to conclude that we have a difference between the two means at 10% of significance.

Which is the best prove why.5 gallon bucket of paint for $97.45 of a 1 gallon bucket of paint for 21.95.?
Greeley [361]
97.45 / 5 = 19.49 per gallon

and then there is 21.95 per gallon

the better deal would be the 5 gallon bucket for 97.45 because if u buy it this way, it is cheaper by the gallon

Llana [10]

When you plot the numbers on a graph or draw a histogram using them, you find the distribution shapes are


Lake A: ∩

Lake B: ∪

Lake C: ∩

Lake D: ∩


Apparently the weights of fish in Lake B have a U-shaped distribution.
