Question

Question 7 1.25 pts The Wall Street Journal reported that the average amount of time that a French person spends eating lunch at a restaurant is 22 minutes. Perform a hypothesis test to determine if a difference exists between the average time an American spends eating lunch when compared to a person from France. The following data represents the time, in minutes, that random French and American diners spent at lunch. Assume that the population variances are equal. American 21 17 17 20 25 16 20 16 French 24 18 20 28 18 29 17 If Population 1 is defined as French diners and Population 2 is defined as American diners, and using a = 0.10, the conclusion for this hypothesis test would be that because the absolute value of the test statistic is less than the absolute value of the critical value, we can conclude that the average time an American spends at lunch is equal to the average time that French diners spend at lunch less than the absolute value of the critical value, we cannot conclude that the average time an American spends at lunch is different from the average time that French diners spend at lunch more than the absolute value of the critical value, we cannot conclude that the average time an American spends at lunch is different from the average time that French diners spend at lunch more than the absolute value of the critical value, we can conclude that the average time an American spends at lunch is different from the average time that French diners spend at lunch
