The respondents were asked to rate a series of reasons on a scale from 1 to 5, with 1 representing little importance and 5 representing great importance. One of the reasons suggested was general curiosity. Responses for 50 people from the electronics industry results in a sample mean of 1.96 and 50 people from the food industry results in a sample mean of 3.02 for general curiosity. Use the data and α = 0.01 to determine whether there is a significant difference between people in these two industries on this question. Assume the variance for the electronics population is 1.0188 and the variance for the food population is 0.9180. Clearly state your null and alternate hypothesis. State the decision rule. Show the calculation of the test statistic. Give your answer to 2 decimal places where appropriate. State the statistical conclusion and explain the result in context of the question.arrow_forward
