Refer to the data set in the accompanying table. Assume that the
paired sample data is a simple random sample and the differences
have a distribution that is approximately normal. Use a
significance level of 0.01 to test for a difference
between the weights of discarded paper​ (in pounds) and
weights of discarded plastic​ (in pounds).
In this​ example, μd is the mean value of the
differences d for the population of all pairs of​ data, where
each individual difference d is defined as the weight of discarded
paper minus the weight of discarded plastic for a household. What
are the null and alternative hypotheses for the
hypothesis​ test?
A. H0​: μd≠0
H1​: μd=0
B. H0​: μd≠0
H1​: μd>0
C. H0​: μd=0
H1​: μd<0
D. H0​: μd=0
H1​: μd≠0
Part 2
Identify the test statistic.
t=
​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.)
Part 3
Identify the​ P-value.
​P-value=
​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)
Part 4
What is the conclusion based on the hypothesis​ test?
Since the​ P-value is [ less ; greater ] than
the significance​ level, [ reject; fail to reject
] the null hypothesis. There [ is ; is not
] sufficient evidence to support the claim that there is a
difference between the weights of discarded paper and discarded
plastic.
