A statistician wishes to determine whether
current unemployment rates differ between Urban and Rural areas of
the United States. A sample of ten states each was randomly chosen
from all 50 states. The data are as follows: Urban:
23%, 13%, 33%, 21%, 17%, 24%, 12%, 18%, 27%, 16% Rural: 12%,
8%, 9%, 14%, 7%, 8%, 10%, 11%, 12%, 7% Are the mean
percentages significantly different? And
what are the degrees of freedom?
a. yes, at p < .05
b. yes, at p < .01
c. yes, at p < .001
d. no, at p > .05
degree of freedom is calculated using the formula
Here to conduct the test i have chose the significance level 0.05, but you can see that the p value is less than 0.001, Since the null hypothesis is rejected so option c is right
