question 79

Multiple Choice

During a test period,an experimental group of 10 vehicles using an 85 percent ethanol-gasoline mixture showed mean CO2 emissions of 667 pounds per 1000 miles,with a standard deviation of 20 pounds.A control group of 14 vehicles using regular gasoline showed mean CO2 emissions of 679 pounds per 1000 miles with a standard deviation of 15 pounds.At α = .05,in a left-tailed test,the critical value to compare the means (assuming equal variances) is

• A)−2.508
• B)−2.074
• C)−1.321
• D)−1.717
