Assume that the paired data are simple random samples and that the differences have a distribution that is approximately normal. A popular theory is that presidential candidates have an advantage if they are taller than their main opponents. Listed are heights (cm) of presidents along with the heights of their main opponents. \begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|} \hline Height of President & 185 & 178 & 175 & 183 & 193 & 173 \\ \hline Height of Opponent & 171 & 180 & 173 & 175 & 188 & 178 \\ \hline \end{tabular} Note that you only have to do the P-value OR the Critical Value(s). Null Hypothests: type your antwer Alternative Hypothesis: type your answer- Test Statistic: type your answer. P-value: type vour answer.- Critical Value(s): twoc your amwer and type your answer- Null Conclusion: chose your answer. Final Conclusion: thoeyour answers

- Null Hypothesis (H0): The mean difference in height between the president and their main opponent is zero (no advantage based on height). - Alternative Hypothesis (H1): The mean difference in height between the president and their main opponent is greater than Show more…

Use the listed paired sample data, and assume that the samples are simple random samples and that the differences have a distribution that is approximately normal. A popular theory is that presidential candidates have an advantage if they are taller than their main opponents. Listed are heights (cm) of presidents along with the heights of their main opponents (from Data Set 15 "Presidents"). a. Use the sample data with a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that for the population of heights of presidents and their main opponents, the differences have a mean greater than $0 \mathrm{cm} .$ b. Construct the confidence interval that could be used for the hypothesis test described in part (a). What feature of the confidence interval leads to the same conclusion reached in part (a)? $$\begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|} \hline \text { Height (cm) of President } & 185 & 178 & 175 & 183 & 193 & 173 \\ \hline \text { Height (cm) of Main Opponent } & 171 & 180 & 173 & 175 & 188 & 178 \\ \hline \end{array}$$

A popular theory is that presidential candidates have an advantage if they are taller than their main opponents. Listed are heights (in centimeters) of randomly selected presidents along with the heights of their main opponents. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. Height (cm) of President 185 172 170 190 183 166 Height (cm) of Main Opponent 165 172 179 174 187 179 a. Use the sample data with a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that for the population of heights for presidents and their main opponents, the differences have a mean greater than 0 cm. In this example, μd is the mean value of the differences d for the population of all pairs of data, where each individual difference d is defined as the president's height minus their main opponent's height. What are the null and alternative hypotheses for the hypothesis test? H0: μd = 0 cm H1: μd > 0 cm (Type integers or decimals. Do not round.)

In this example, μd is the mean value of the differences d for the population of all pairs of data, where each individual difference d is defined as the president's height minus their main opponent's height. What are the null and alternative hypotheses for the hypothesis test? H0: μd = 0 cm H1: μd > 0 cm (Type integers or decimals. Do not round.) b. Identify the test statistic. t= (Round to two decimal places as needed.) c. find P value
