The Dean of the Business School at State University would liketo test the hypothesis that no difference exists between theaverage final exam grades for the Introduction to Marketing courseand the Introduction to Finance course. A random sample of eightstudents who took both courses was selected and their final examgrades for each course are shown below. Student 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8Marketing 82 86 74 93 90 76 87 100 Finance 76 91 70 79 96 70 85 81If Population 1 is defined as the Marketing exam scores andPopulation 2 is defined as the Finance exam scores, and usingLaTeX: \alpha α = 0.05, the conclusion for this hypothesis testwould be that because the test statistic is_______________________________________________________. less thanthe critical value, we can conclude that no difference existsbetween the average final exam grades for the Introduction toMarketing course and the Introduction to Finance course less thanthe critical value, we cannot conclude that a difference existsbetween the average final exam grades for the Introduction toMarketing course and the Introduction to Finance course more thanthe critical value, we cannot conclude that a difference existsbetween the average final exam grades for the Introduction toMarketing course and the Introduction to Finance course more thanthe critical value, we can conclude that a difference existsbetween the average final exam grades for the Introduction toMarketing course and the Introduction to Finance course
