(10) Do the data meet the assumption of equal variances? How do you know?

(11) What is the result of the t test? Is it statistically significant at .05? (How will you need to adjust the p value in your output?) What do you conclude about the original hypothesis?

  

(12) What does the 95% Confidence Interval estimate show about the mean difference in dollar amounts that people in the population would pay for monthly phone service? In what way is it consistent with the result of the hypothesis test?

Explanation / Answer

10) If you look at p value for variance test 0.966 > 0.05

So, null is not rejected and it means variances are equal.

11) p value for t test = 0 < 0.05 means that null is rejected and test is significant at 0.05 level.

So, The hypothesis is that owners of the top-name Blackberry and iPhone are willing to pay more per month than owners of other phones is true.

12) Conf interval =

22.834

45.571

As interval doesnt contain 0, null is rejected

So, The hypothesis is that owners of the top-name Blackberry and iPhone are willing to pay more per month than owners of other phones is true.
