Problem: Two samples of rats are timed for their maze running time.

One group (6 samples) is taking

The times are given in the following table:
rats w/ drug rats w/o drug Step 1 Ho: the mean of rats with drug and rats w/o drug
15 11 Step 2 Ha: the mean of rats with drug and rats without d
12 13 Step 3 σ = 0.05 or .05
13 9
12 6
10 11

Determine whether the use of the test drug results in a different maze running time. Use the .05 leve

ng time. Use the .05 level of significance.

Step 4 F-TEST TWO-SAMPLE FOR VARIANCES

P(F<=f) one-tail 0.1859078608295
F Critical one-tail 5.1921677728039

Traditional Approach Decision rule:

F = 2.359550562 Since F = 2.359550562 < F critical = 5.192167773 then
F critical = 5.192167773 fail to reject Ho and reject Ha

Conclusion:
The variances are equal

Perform the T-Test

mean of rats with drug and rats w/o drug are equal
mean of rats with drug and rats without drug are equal

P-value Approach Step 6 Decision rule:

p-value = 0.135391818 Since p-value = 0.135391818 > alpha = .05 then
alpha = .05 failed to reject Ho, Ha

Step 7 Conclusion:
At alpha = .05, therefore, there are no difference between
the results of the running time
