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

question 58

Multiple Choice

Use the following information to answer the question. Suppose the Nielson Organization conducted a survey to find out how many minutes of televised sporting events people watched in one week. Assume that all conditions for the Mann test have been met. Use the following test output to answer the question. Hypothesis test results:
$\mathrm{ml}=$ median for adults ages $24-34$
$\mathrm{m} 2=$ median for adults ages $35-45$
Parameter: $\mathrm{m} 1-\mathrm{m} 2$
$\begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|}\hline \text { Difference } & \mathrm{n} 1 & \mathrm{n} 2 & \text { Diff.Est } & \text { Test Stat } & \text { P-value } & \text { Method } \\\hline \mathrm{m} 1-\mathrm{m} 2 & 12 & 12 & 65 & 45.7 & 0.120 & \text { Norm. Approx. } \\\hline\end{array}$
-Using a significance level of 5%, state the correct decision regarding the null hypothesis and the concluding statement.

• A) Reject \( \mathrm{H}_{0} \). There is evidence to suggest that there is difference in the median amount of televised sporting events that adults in the two age groups watched.
• B) Fail to reject \( \mathrm{H}_{0} \). There is evidence to suggest that there is a difference in the median amount of televised sporting events that adults in the two age groups watched.
• C) Reject \( \mathrm{H}_{0} \). There is evidence to suggest that there is no difference in the median amount of televised sporting events that adults in the two age groups watched.
• D) Fail to reject \( \mathrm{H}_{0} \). There is evidence to suggest that there is no difference in the median amount of televised sporting events that adults in the two age groups watched.
