each of two pesticide brands is applied to 100 containers of fire ants. brand1 killed all ants in 65 of 100 containers within two hours, and brand 2 killed all ants in 58 of 100 containers within two hours.

Respuesta :

The pValue is 0.15625 > 0.05 when  brand1 killed all ants in 65 of 100 containers within two hours, and brand 2 killed all ants in 58 of 100 containers within two hours in hypothesis.

Let A represent the new pesticide and B be the Ant Killer. Then, you are given that

Brand1 kills ants in 65 of 100 containers:

Xa = 65/100 = 0.65

Brand2 kills ants in 58 of 100 containers:

Xb = 58/100 = 0.58

You know need to find sample variance for both,

s²A =∑(Xi - Xa)

= 65(1-0.65)² + 35(0 - 0.65)²

= 22.7

s²B =∑(Xi - Xb)²

= 59(1-0.59)² + 41(0 - 0.59)²

= 24.19

You can know do a test for significance

t = (Xa - Xb) / √(sA /nA) +(sB/nB)

and derive the conclusion from there

Here, Null and alternative hypothesis are generally,

Alternative hypothesis

Here, there are three samples are assumed. They are:

i) Samples are taken independently

ii) Samples must be selected randomly

iii) n₁p₁ ≥ 5 , n₁q₁ ≥ 5, n₂p₂ ≥ 5, n₂q₂ ≥ 5

i.e., p₁ = 0.65 ; p₂ = 0.58 , n₁= 100

q₁ = 0.35 ; q₂ = 0.42 , n₂=100

Corresponding p-value at Z = 1.01722

p-value = 0.15625 > 0.05

Hence, the pValue is 0.15625 > 0.05 when  brand1 killed all ants in 65 of 100 containers within two hours, and brand 2 killed all ants in 58 of 100 containers within two hours in hypothesis.
