Investigation 1: Ezpass on I-66 Transportation engineers
determined that to help ease traffic, they would set up tolls for
solo drivers during rush hour times on Route I-66 inside the
Capital Beltway (Route I-495). Carpooling drivers with the proper
Ezpass would drive free. The toll program began in December 4,
2017. To test the claim that fewer vehicles would use Route I-66
after the program began, a count of the number of vehicles was
collected from two random samples. One sample collected the number
of daily vehicles for 12 randomly selected days prior to December
4, 2017 (“Before”) and a second sample collected the number of
daily vehicles for another 12 randomly selected days after December
4, 2017 (“After”) (up to a year after). The data set is called
“Number of Vehicles 1.” Use the significance level  = 0.05.
i) Based on the p-value from the output produced in part (h),
state the decision you would make in this hypothesis test. Provide
a reason for this decision in one sentence.
j) State your conclusion in the context of this hypothesis test.
Write your answer in context in one or two sentences.
k) Comment in one sentence if you believe your conclusions are
accurate based on your interpretation in part (g).
l) Provide at least one confounding variable that may have had
an effect on this study’s results in one sentence.
