When the background music tempo was slow, the mean amount of bar
purchases for a sample of 17 restaurant patrons was $30.46 with a
standard deviation of $15.40. When the background music tempo was
fast, the mean amount of bar purchases for a sample of 15 patrons
in the same restaurant was $21.03 with a standard deviation of
$9.50. Assuming equal variances, at α = 0.05, is the true mean
higher when the music is slow?
1. appropriate
hypotheses: H0: μ1 – μ2 ≤
0
vs. H1: μ1 – μ2 >
0.
Reject H0 if tcalc >
1.697
2. Calculate
the tcalc. (Round your answer
to 3 decimal places.) ????
3. Based on the t-value determined, choose
the correct decision. Reject the null hypothesis OR Fail to
reject the null hypothesis
4. Calculate the p-value using
Excel. (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)
