Question:

The researchers also measured the number of escape attempts during the medical procedure for each cat. A 95% confidence interval for the difference in mean number of escape attempts (per cat) was (μtrained - μtrained) and was given to be (-1.29, -0.17) attempts per cat. Suppose a non directional two-sample / test was conducted on these same data. State whether the following statements are true or false or cannot be determined without further compulations. Explain why.
(a) The P-value for the two-sample t test would be greater than 0.05.
(b) There is statistically significant evidence (at the α = 0.05 level) that the mean number of escape attempts per cat is not the same for trained and untrained cats.
(c) There is statistically significant evidence (at the α = 0.01 level) that the mean number of escape attempts per cat is not the same for trained and untrained cats.
(d) There is statistically significant evidence (at the α = 0.10 level) that the mean number of escape attempts per cat is not the same for trained and untrained cats.
