Does the average Presbyterian donate more than the average Catholic in church on Sundays? The 45 randomly observed members of the Presbyterian church donated an average of $22 with a standard deviation of $13. The 50 randomly observed members of the Catholic church donated an average of $21 with a standard deviation of $8. What can be concluded at the

= 0.10 level of significance?

  11. accept
  12. the null hypothesis.
  13. Thus, the final conclusion is that ...
  • The results are statistically significant at
  • = 0.10, so there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean donation for the 45 Presbyterians that were observed is more than the mean donation for the 50 Catholics that were observed.
  • The results are statistically insignificant at
  • = 0.10, so there is statistically significant evidence to conclude that the population mean amount of money that Presbyterians donate is equal to the population mean amount of money that Catholics donate.
  • The results are statistically insignificant at
  • = 0.10, so there is insufficient evidence to conclude that the population mean amount of money that Presbyterians donate is more than the population mean amount of money that Catholics donate.
  • The results are statistically significant at
  • = 0.10, so there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the population mean amount of money that Presbyterians donate is more than the population mean amount of money that Catholics donate.
