A researcher wanted to compare food ratings at restaurants located in the city with those laceted in the suburbs. She randomly selected 50 urban and 50 suburban restaurants,collected data on food ratings at each of those restaraunts, and conducted a 2-sample t-test. A p-value of .141 resulted. State the null and alternate hypotheses, state whether the null hypothesis should be rejected or not rejected and your response for that conclusion, state the meaning of that conclusion specifically in terms of the problem being studied.

Solution

The null hypothesis is:

H0:mu1=mu2

Against the alternative hypothesis

H1:Mu1 not equal to mu2

p value=0.141

Since, p value is greater than 0.05, so fail to reject the null hypothesis.
