A marine biologist claims that the mean length of mature female pink seaperch is different in fall and winter. Asample of 17 mature female pink seaperch collected in fall has a mean length of 111 millimeters and a standard deviation of 11 millimeters. A sample of 8 mature female pink seaperm collected in winter has a mean length of 106 millimeters and a standard deviation of 7 millimeters. At a: 0.10, can you support the marine biologists claim? Assume the population variances are equal. Assume the samples are random and independent, and the populations are normally distributed. Complete parts (a) through (e) below. (a) Identify the claim and state H0 and Ha- Which is the correct claim below? 0 A. "The mean length of mature female pink seaperch is different in fall and winter." 0 B. "The mean length of mature female pink seaperch is greater in the fall than in the winter." 0 C. "The mean length of mature female pink seaperch is greater in the winter than in the fall." 0 D. "The mean length of mature female pink seaperch is the same in fall and winter." What are \"0 and Ha? The null hypothesis, H0, is l The alternative hypothesis, Ha, is ! Which hypothesis is the claim? 0 The alternative hypothesis, Ha O The null hypothesis, \"0 (b) Find the critical value(s) and identify the rejection region(s). Enter the critical value(s) below. (Type an integer or decimal rounded to three decimal places as needed. Use a comma to separate answers as needed.) Select the correct rejection region(s) below. OA. to
t0 O D. t>to (c) Find the standardized test statistic. t: :1 (Type an integer or decimal rounded to three decimal places as needed.) (d) Decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis. 7 the null hypothesis. (9) Interpret the decision in the context of the original claim. At the 10% signicance level, V enough evidence to support the claim that the mean lengths of mature female pink seaperch are different in fall and winter
