A scientist studies the development of brain size in mice, believing that exposure to statistics videos is related to brain development.. After having mice intensively watch statistics videos, the scientist discovers that mice have doubled the size of their brains. After running a statistical test on the difference, the scientist obtained a p-value of .04. What should the scientist conclude, assuming an a

The conclusion of the scientist should be that the results are statistically significant and that there is a high probability that the mice brains doubled in sizes after watching the videos

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is as follows;

A scientist studies the development of brain size in mice, believing that exposure to statistics videos is related to brain development.. After having mice intensively watch statistics videos, the scientist discovers that mice have doubled the size of their brains. After running a statistical test on the difference, the scientist obtained a p-value of .04. What should the scientist conclude, assuming an a=.05?

Solution;

We start by forming the null hypothesis

The null hypothesis H0 here is that;

The mice have not doubled the sizes of their brains after watching the the videos

While the alternative hypothesis H1 is that the mice have double their brain sizes after watching the videos

To know what to conclude, we will need to look at the p-value obtained

The p-value we have here is 0.04 which is less than 0.05 and thus , shows the existence of a strong evidence against the null hypothesis which means we will have to accept the alternative

Hence, the conclusion of the scientist should be that the results are statistically significant and that there is a high probability that the mice brains doubled in sizes after watching the videos
