A new study suggests that women with asthma exposed to air pollution, even before conception, significantly increase their risk of delivering a premature baby. The researcher reported gestational ages for two groups of women with asthma - one group of 45 women exposed to air pollution (mean = 36 weeks with a standard deviation of 1 week) and another group of 47 women not exposed to air pollution (mean = 39 weeks with a standard deviation of 1 week). Which one of the following statements is INCORRECT? (Set alpha level at 0.05; Pooled standard deviation - 1) O The ratio of variances is 1. O The obtained test statistic is approximately -14.38. O The degrees of freedom is 91. O The null hypothesis is that gestational age is not different between women with asthma who are exposed to air pollution and those who are not exposed to air pollution. O The decision should be to reject the null hypothesis. O The critical test statistic is 1.960.
