Question 4 0

A two-sample t-test for a difference in means was conducted to investigate whether defensive players on a football team can bench-press more weight, on average, than
offensive players. The conditions for inference were met, and the test produced a test statistic of t = 1.083 and a p-value of 0.15.
Based on the p-value and a significance level of a = 0.05, which of the following is the correct conclusion?
Submit
Reject the null hypothesis because 0.15 > 0.05. There is not convincing evidence that defensive players can bench-press more weight, on average, than
offensive players.
B
Reject the null hypothesis because 0.15 > 0.05. There is convincing evidence that defensive players can bench-press more weight, on average, than
offensive players
с
Fail to reject the null hypothesis because 0.15 > 0.05. There is not convincing evidence that defensive players can bench-press more weight, on average,
than offensive players,
D
Fail to reject the null hypothesis because 0.15 > 0.05. There is convincing evidence that defensive players can bench-press more weight, on average,
than offensive players
Fail to reject the null hypothesis because 0.15 > 0.05. There is convincing evidence that defensive players can bench-press the same amount of weight,
on average, as offensive players.

Answer 1

Fail to reject the null hypothesis because 0.15>0.05

. There is not convincing evidence that defensive players can bench-press more weight, on average, than offensive players.

Explanation:

Since P>a we can not reject the null hypothesis. We cannot conclude the alternative hypothesis in context.
