Question

Fill in the blanks to complete the 4 part conclusion. There is suggestive, but inconclusive evidence the Velvetleaf seed beetle is successful at weed control. The sample estimates the average percent of seeds to be infected by the beetle is 5.164, with a 95% confidence interval of 3.699 to 6.629 . We fail to reject the null hypothesis at a 0.05 significance level..

a) how suggestive or inconclusive
b) lower and upper bounds
c) reject or fail to reject

Answer 1

a) There is suggestive evidence the velvet leaf seed is successful at weed control.

b) Lower bound: 3.699 Upper bound: 6.629

c) Since the confidence interval contains the average percent of seeds to be infected by the beetle (5.164), so we fail to reject the null hypothesis at the specified level of significance.
