Question

Given the following null and alternative hypotheses

H0: μ1≥ μ2

HA: μ1< μ2

Together with the following sample information

A) Because the calculated value of t = -2.145 is less than the critical value of t = -1.6973, reject the null hypothesis. Based on these sample data, at the α = 0.05 level of significance there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean for population 1 is less than the mean for population 2.

B) Because the calculated value of t = -1.814 is less than the critical value of t = -1.6973, reject the null hypothesis. Based on these sample data, at the α = 0.05 level of significance there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean for population 1 is less than the mean for population 2.

C) Because the calculated value of t = -1.329 is not less than the critical value of t = -1.6973, do not reject the null hypothesis. Based on these sample data, at the α = 0.05 level of significance there is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean for population 1 is less than the mean for population 2.

D) Because the calculated value of t = -1.415 is not less than the critical value of t = -1.6973, do not reject the null hypothesis. Based on these sample data, at the α = 0.05 level of significance there is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean for population 1 is less than the mean for population 2.
