The average amount of time it takes for couples to further communicate with each other after their first date has ended is 3.07 days. Is this average different for blind dates? A researcher interviewed 52 couples who had recently been on blind dates and found that they averaged 3.4 days to communicate with each other after the date was over. Their standard deviation was 0.837 days. What can be concluded at the the α = 0.10 level of significance? For this study, we should use The null and alternative hypotheses would be: H 0 : H 1 : The test statistic = (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.) The p-value = (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.) The p-value is α Based on this, we should the null hypothesis. Thus, the final conclusion is that ... The data suggest the population mean is not significantly different from 3.07 at α = 0.10, so there is enough evidence to conclude that the population mean time for couples who have been on a blind date to communicate with each other after the date is over is equal to 3.07. The data suggest the populaton mean is significantly different from 3.07 at α = 0.10, so there is enough evidence to conclude that the population mean time for couples who have been on a blind date to communicate with each other after the date is over is different from 3.07. The data suggest that the population mean is not significantly different from 3.07 at α = 0.10, so there is not enough evidence to conclude that the population mean time for couples who have been on a blind date to communicate with each other after the date is over is different from 3.07.
