A researcher wants to know whether athletic women are more flexible than non-athletic women. For this experiment, a woman who exercised vigorously at least four times per week was considered "athletic." Flexibility is measured in inches on a sit & reach box. Test the researcher's claim using the following summary statistics:
Assume that all conditions for testing have been met. Report the test statistic and p-value. At the 1% significance level, state your decision regarding the null hypothesis and your conclusion about the original claim. Round all values to the nearest thousandth.
▸ t =1.623; p = 0.108; Reject the null hypothesis; there is not strong evidence to suggest that athletic women are more flexible than non-athletic women.
▸ t = -1.623; p = 0.054; Reject the null hypothesis; there is strong evidence to suggest that athletic women are more flexible than non-athletic women.
▸ t = -1.623; p = 0.108; Reject the null hypothesis; there is strong evidence to suggest that athletic women are more flexible than non-athletic women.
▸ t =1.623; p = 0.054; Fail to reject the null hypothesis; there is not strong evidence to suggest that athletic women are more flexible than non-athletic women.
