A researcher posed a null hypothesis that there was no significant difference between boys and girls on a standard memory test. He randomly sampled 40 girls and 40 boys in a community and gave them the standard memory test. The mean score for girls was 68 and the standard deviation of mean was 5.0. The mean score for boys was 66 and the standard deviation of mean was 5.0. What is the p-value and your conclusion at alpha

Complete Question

A researcher posed a null hypothesis that there was no significant difference between boys and girls on a standard memory test. He randomly sampled 40 girls and 40 boys in a community and gave them the standard memory test. The mean score for girls was 68 and the standard deviation of mean was 5.0. The mean score for boys was 66 and the standard deviation of mean was 5.0. What is the p-value and your conclusion at alpha 0.05

The p-value is  

 The conclusion is  

There is sufficient evidence to support the claim  that there was no significant difference between boys and girls on a standard memory test

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

      The sample size of boys and girls is  

      The standard deviation is  

        The level of significance is  

       The sample mean for boys is    

The null hypothesis is  

The alternative hypothesis is  

 Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

=>      

=>      

From the z table  the area under the normal curve to the left corresponding to    -1,789   is

Generally the p-value is mathematically represented as

=>      

=>      

From the values obtained we see that   hence

The decision rule is  

Fail to reject the null hypothesis

 The conclusion is  

There is sufficient evidence to support the claim  that there was no significant difference between boys and girls on a standard memory test
