2. An advertiser wants to find convincing evidence that television viewers
remember more than 4 commercials, on average, after watching a 30 minute TV
program. They take a random sample of 100 television viewers and ask them
how many commercials they could remember after watching a 30 minute TV
program. The appropriate t-test was conducted, which resulted in a P-value of
0.15. Assuming all conditions were met, which of the following is an appropriate
conclusion?
(A) Because the P-value is less than 0.05, at the 5% significance level, there is not
convincing evidence that television viewers remember more than 4 commercials, on
average, after watching a 30 minute TV program.
(B) Because the P-value is greater than 0.05, at the 5% significance level, there is
convincing evidence that television viewers remember fewer than 4 commercials, on
average, after watching a 30 minute TV program.
(C) Because the P-value is greater than 0.01, at the 1% significance level, there is not
convincing evidence that television viewers remember more than 4 commercials, on
average, after watching a 30 minute TV program.
(D) Because the P-value is greater than 0.01, at the 1% significance level, there is
convincing evidence that television viewers remember exactly 4 commercials, on
average, after watching a 30 minute TV program.
(E) Because the P-value is less than 0.01, at the 1% significance level, there is convincing
evidence that television viewers remember fewer than 4 commercials, on average, after
watching a 30 minute TV program.
