1. You are comparing the heights of contemporary males and eighteenth-century males. The sample mean for a sample of 30 contemporary males is 70.1 inches with a sample standard deviation of 2.52 inches. The sample mean for eighteenth-century males was 65.2 inches with a sample standard deviation of 3.51 inches. Is there sufficient data to conclude that contemporary males are taller than eighteenth-century males?

A. The p-value is less than 0.00001. There is insufficient data to reject the null hypothesis.

B. The p-value is greater than 0.00001. There is sufficient data to reject the null hypothesis.

C. The p-value is greater than 0.00001. There is insufficient data to reject the null hypothesis.

D. The p-value is less than 0.00001. There is sufficient data to reject the null hypothesis.

And the best conclusion for this case would be:

D. The p-value is less than 0.00001. There is sufficient data to reject the null hypothesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation  

represent the sample mean

represent the population standard deviation  

sample size  

represent the value that we want to test

represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.  

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)  

State the null and alternative hypotheses.  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean is higher than 65.2, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:  

Alternative hypothesis:  

If we analyze the size for the sample is = 30 but we don't know the population deviation so is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:  

 (1)  

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".  

Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:  

P-value

The first step is calculate the degrees of freedom, on this case:  

Since is a one side right tailed test the p value would be:  

And the best conclusion for this case would be:

D. The p-value is less than 0.00001. There is sufficient data to reject the null hypothesis.
