MY LAST QUESTION PLEASE!. Erin wants to know if warming up will help runners sprint faster. Twenty-six track and field athletes volunteered to participate in her study. She randomly assigns 13 athletes to warm-up for 10 minutes. All 26 participants sprint the same distance. She calculates the mean for each group and determines that the mean for the warm-up group was 10.9 seconds and the mean for the other group was 12.9 seconds. To test the difference of means, she re-randomized the data 54 times and the differences are plotted in the dot plot below. What can Erin conclude from her study?

The difference in the means is not significant because a difference of 2 is not very likely. The difference in the means is not significant because a difference of 2 is very likely. The difference in the means is significant because a difference of 2 is very likely. The difference in the means is significant because a difference of 2 is not very likely.

Why do u think it's C?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't give out direct answers all the time

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because if you take -1 or 0 and increase in 2 , the difference is likely

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you guide me? @Miss_Panda

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yea hold up

@jim_thompson5910 @clynnew

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the difference in 2 is likely correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because they're better

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or i mean faster when they warm up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm thinking so but to be correct ill ask @KyanTheDoodle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you think the difference is significant too because there is a difference of 2 that's likely to occur?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mean the difference in the mean

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YesThe difference in the means is significant because a difference of 2 is very likely.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thank you so much for your help.
