a. Assuming that the population variances from the 30-second ads and the 60-second ads are equal, is there evidence of a difference in the mean score between the two types of ads? Use
α=0.02.
Let
μ1
be the mean score for the 30-second ads and
μ2
be the mean score for the 60-second ads. Determine the hypotheses. Choose the correct answer below.
Find the test statistic.
(Round to two decimal places as needed.)
Find the critical value(s).
negative 2.55 comma 2.55−2.55, 2.55
(Use a comma to separate answers as needed. Round to two decimal places as needed.)
Choose the correct conclusion below.
H0.
There is
evidence that the mean scores differ.
b. Determine the p-value in (a) and interpret its meaning.
(Round to three decimal places as needed.)
Interpret the p-value. Choose the correct answer below.
The p-value is the probability of obtaining a sample that yields a t test statistic
than the computed test statistic if there is no difference in the mean score between the 30-second ads and the 60-second ads.
c. Assuming that the population variances from both types of ads are equal, construct and interpret a
98%
confidence interval estimate of the difference between the population mean score of the two types of ads.
The confidence interval is
