M6 Check in Activity 2 Math

The document compares the maze running times of two groups of rats - one group that was given a drug and one that was not. Descriptive statistics are provided for the running times of each group. A t-test is conducted to determine if there is a statistically significant difference between the mean running times of the two groups at the 0.05 significance level. The t-test results in a p-value of 0.135, which is greater than 0.05, so the null hypothesis that there is no difference between the means is not rejected. It is concluded that the drug did not result in a different maze running time.

Problem: Two samples of rats are timed for their maze running time.

One group (6 samples) is taking


The times are given in the following table:

P(F<=f) one-tail 0.1859078608295
F Critical one-tail 5.1921677728039

Traditional Approach Decision rule:


F = 2.359550562 Since F = 2.359550562 < F critical = 5.192167773 then
F critical = 5.192167773 fail to reject Ho and reject Ha

Conclusion:
The variances are equal

Perform the T-Test


mean of rats with drug and rats w/o drug are equal
mean of rats with drug and rats without drug are equal

P-value Approach Step 6 Decision rule:


p-value = 0.135391818 Since p-value = 0.135391818 > alpha = .05 then
alpha = .05 failed to reject Ho, Ha

Step 7 Conclusion:
At alpha = .05, therefore, there are no difference between
the results of the running time
