Question

The owner of a local golf course wants to examine the difference between the average ages of males and females that play on the golf course. Specifically, he wants to test if the average age of males is less than the average age of females. If the owner conducts a 2 Sample test and calculates a p-value of 0.0721, what is the appropriate conclusion? (a) We did not find enough evidence to say the average age of males is less than the average age of females. (b) The average age of males is significantly less than the average age of females. (c) The average age of males is greater than or equal to the average age of females. (d) We did not find enough evidence to say the average age of males is larger than the average age of females. (e) We did not find enough evidence to say a significant difference exists between the average age of males and females.

Explanation / Answer

Assuming that we are testing this hypothesis at 0.05 significance level. Since the P-value is greater than significance level we fail to reject the null hypothesis. Thus we dont have enough evidence to support our claim.

Hence the correct option would be ,

(a) We did not find enough evidence to say that the average age of males is less than the average age of females.
