Two Population Means
Complete the requirements below. Submit a word document with your analysis and answers. Provide your excel workbook showing your calculations, in addition to the word document. Ensure you show all of your work.
You have a large farm (2200 acres) and want to maximize the yield from your crops. You have the choice between your standard fertilizer and a new fertilizer that claims to increase the crop yield.
You decide to test the two fertilizers on 15 parcels of land on your farm before committing money to the new fertilizer. You divide the 15 parcels into two portions, planting one half with the old fertilizer and one half with the new fertilizer.
The data set provides the yields (pounds) (see data set in the materials section to the right).
I. Perform a two tailed hypothesis test considering the data as two independent samples (show all six steps) to see if there is a difference in the yields from the parcels. Present the output from your calculations in the word document with your analysis. What is your conclusion (step V and VI)? Is there a statistically significant difference between the two samples? (25 words)
II. Perform a one tailed hypothesis test (show all six steps) to determine which of the two fertilizer samples is a better choice. Present the output from your calculations in the word document with your analysis. What is your conclusion? Is there a statistically significant difference between the two samples? (25 words)
III. Explain why the results were different between the two tests, and which test is a stronger and more reliable test. (25 words)
Format your assignment consistent with APA guidelines. Ensure you submit the excel workbook, showing your data set and calculations, along with your answers to the requirements above.
