Question 261086
Cash withdrawals (in multiples of $20) at an on-campus ATM for a random sample of 30 Fridays and 30 Mondays are shown following. 
At α = .01, is there a difference in the mean ATM withdrawal on Monday and Friday? 
(a) Make stacked dot plots of the data (a sketch is OK). 
(b) State the hypotheses.
Ho: u(mon)-u(fri) = 0
Ha: u(mon)-u(fri) is not equal to zero
-------------------------------------------- 
(c) State the decision rule and sketch it.
df = 30+30-2 = 58
cv = +/-2.6632 ; 
Reject Ho if t<-2.6632 or t>2.6632
--------------------------------------------
 
(d) Find the test statistic.
I ran a 2-Sample Ttest and got test stat: t = 0.0168
------------------------------------------------------ 
(e) Make a decision. 
(f) Find the p-value and interpret it.
p-value: t = 0.9866
Interpretation: more than 98% of test results could have given
stronger evidence for rejecting Ho.
