Making conclusions about the difference of means
Problem
Katie grows two varieties of pears¡ªBosc and Anjou. She took a sample of each variety to test if their mean weights were significantly different. Here is a summary of her results (weights are shown in grams):
Variety | Mean | StDev | SE mean | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Bosc | ||||
Anjou | ||||
Katie wants to use these results to test versus . Assume that all conditions for inference have been met.
Based on the interval, what do we know about the corresponding P-value and conclusion at the level of significance?
