Arecent study focused on the number of times men and women who live alone buy take-out dinner in a month. assume that the distributions follow the normal probability distribution and the population standard deviations are equal. the information is summarized below. statistic men women sample mean 24.85 21.33 sample standard deviation 5.54 4.93 sample size 34 36 at the 0.01 significance level, is there a difference in the mean number of times men and women order take-out dinners in a month? state the decision rule for 0.01 significance level: h0: μmen= μwomen h1: μmen ≠ μwomen. (negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. round your answers to 3 decimal places.) compute the value of the test statistic. (round your answer to 3 decimal places.) what is your decision regarding the null hypothesis? what is the p-value? (round your answer to 3 decimal places.)

Ascientist studied a population of workers to determine whether verbal praise and/or tangible rewards affect employee productivity. in the study, some workers were offered verbal praise, some were offered tangible rewards (gift cards, presents, and some were offered neither. the productivity of each participant was measured throughout the study by recording the number of daily tasks completed by each employee. which inference might the scientists make based on the given information? a.) the number of daily tasks completed by each employee may influence the dependent variable, which is whether the employee receives verbal praise, tangible rewards, or neither. b.) verbal praise and/or tangible rewards may influence the independent variable, which is the number of daily tasks completed by each employee. c.) verbal praise and/or tangible rewards may influence the dependent variable, which is the number of daily tasks completed by each employee. d.) the dependent variables, which are verbal praise and tangible rewards, may influence the number of daily tasks completed by each employee.
