In order to test the yield capabilities of two new varieties of wheat, researchers planted each variety on a
plot of equal area at each of 8 random locations, and the yields, in kilograms per plot, were recorded as
follows.
Location 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Variety 1 26.7 41.6 42 41.2 44.2 39 43.2 46.6
Variety 2 34.7 49 31.7 44.1 36.1 29.4 34.1 36.8
The yield capabilities are assumed to follow normal distributions. Does the data suggest that the yield of
varierty 1 is less than that of varierty 2 if the significance level is 0.05?
a. The alternative hypothesis H₁: μ₁ - μ2 < 0
b. Compute the statistic: T = 1.141152627
Note: Choose Z for z.test (using normal distribution), T for t.test (using Student distributions), and F
for F.test (using Fisher distributions)
c. Determine the acceptance region (the complementary region to the rejection region): (-2.145
2.145
d. Make a conclusion: We fail to reject H_0
Do not round in between steps. (Type oo for Infinity and -oo for Negative Infinity)
