Question

A null hypothesis is that the mean nose lengths of men and women are the same. The alternative hypothesis is that men have a longer mean nose length than women. A statistical test is done and the p-value is 0.225. Which of the following is the most appropriate way to state the conclusion? O The mean nose lengths of the populations of men and women are identical. O There is not enough evidence to say that the populations of men and women have different mean nose lengths. O Men have a greater mean nose length. The probability is 0.225 that men and women have the same mean nose length

Explanation / Answer

Answer is option B.

Below is the reasoning

Since our p-value of .225 is more than the cutoff value of .05 we conclude that mean nose lengths of men and women are the same. In other words, it says that there isn't enough evidence to say that the populations of men and women have different mean nose lengths

Hence, b is correct
