Use the Following Information to Answer the Question $\mathrm{ml}=$

question 54

Multiple Choice

Use the following information to answer the question. Suppose the Nielson Organization conducted a survey to find out how
many minutes of reality-type television programming people watched in one week. Assume that all conditions for the
Mann-Whitney test have been met. Use the following test output to answer the question. Hypothesis test results:
$\mathrm{ml}=$ median for women
$\mathrm{m} 2=$ median for men
Parameter: m1-m2
$\begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|}\hline \text { Difference } & \mathrm{n} 1 & \mathrm{n} 2 & \text { Diff.Est } & \text { Test Stat } & \text { P-value } & \text { Method } \\\hline \mathrm{m} 1-\mathrm{m} 2 & 10 & 10 & 50 & 38.2 & 0.022 & \text { Norm. Approx. } \\\hline\end{array}$
-Using a significance level of 5%, state the correct decision regarding the null hypothesis and the concluding statement.

• A) Fail to reject \( \mathrm{H}_{0} \). There is evidence to suggest that there is a difference in the median amount of reality-type television that men and women watch.
• B) Fail to reject \( \mathrm{H}_{0} \). There is evidence to suggest that there is no difference in the median amount of reality-type television that men and women watch.
• C) Reject \( \mathrm{H}_{0} \). There is evidence to suggest that there is a difference in the median amount of reality-type television that men and women watch.
• D) Reject \( \mathrm{H}_{0} \). There is evidence to suggest that there is no difference in the median amount of reality-type television that men and women watch.
