A field researcher is gathering data on the trunk diameters


A field researcher is gathering data on the trunk diameters of mature pine and spruce trees in a certain area. The following are the results of his random sampling. Can he conclude, at the 0.10 level of significance, that the average trunk diameter of a pine tree is greater than the average diameter of a spruce tree?

                                                 Pine trees              Spruce trees

Sample size                                 30                              35

Mean trunk diameter (cm)            45                              39

Sample variance                           120                           140

What is the test value for this hypothesis test?

Test value: Round your answer to three decimal places.

What is the critical value?

Critical value: Round your answer to three decimal places.

The given assignment is on research of critical value. Make sure before the completion read it carefully. A field researcher is assembling data on the trunk diameters of mature pine and spruce trees in a firm area. The subsequent are the consequences of his random sampling. Can he conclude, at the 0.10 level of importance which the average trunk diameter of a pine tree is greater than the average diameter of a spruce tree? • What is the test value for this hypothesis test? Test value: Round your answer to three decimal places. • What is the critical value? • Critical value: Round your answer to three decimal places.
