Create a research problem that would use a statistic that would explore differences(not relationships) related to something of interfere to you then identify the following: (a) population (b) sample (c) research hypothesis, (d) null hypothesis (e) the variables (f) the inferential statistics that you might use and why.
As our population, we take the data of two teams performing in a recent event. The performance is judged on a scale of 20 points. We wish to check if there is significant difference among the two means of the groups. We take a sample of size 9 from the population.
Data :
the null hypothesis is : the two group means are equal.
Alternative hypothesis is : the two group means are different.
Analysis :
We will use 2 sample t test in minitab to test the hypothesis.
Output :
conclusion : as p-value=0.828 >0.05=alpha, we accept the null hypothesis and conclude there is no significant difference in the means of the two groups.
