A fast food company uses two management-training methods. Method 1 is a traditional method of training and Method 2 is a new and innovative method. The company has just hired 40 new management trainees. Nineteen of the trainees are randomly selected and assigned to the first method, and the remaining twenty-one trainees are assigned to the second training method. After three months of training, the management trainees took a standardized test. The test was designed to evaluate their performance and learning from training. The sample mean test score and sample standard deviation of the two methods are given below. The management wants to determine if the company should implement the new training method. Using α = .025, is the average test score for the traditional method significantly lower than the average test score for the innovative method? Do a complete and appropriate hypothesis test.

Using only the appropriate statistical table in your textbook, the critical value for rejecting H0 is (Click to select)+-± . (report your answer to 3 decimal places, using conventional rounding rules)
Using the sample data, the calculated value of the test statistic is (Click to select)+-± . (report your answer to 2 decimal places, using conventional rounding rules)
Should the null hypothesis be rejected? (Click to select)yes or no
Should the management conclude that the average test score for the traditional method is significantly lower than the average test score for the innovative method? yes or no
Using only the appropriate statistical table in your textbook, what is the most accurate statement you can make about the numerical value of the p-value of this hypothesis test?
Answer: ____________________________________________________________________________ (provide a one-sentence statement about the p-value)
