After seeing many commercials claiming you can get cheaper car insurance from an online company, a local insurance agent decides to investigate the claim. She picks 10 of her clients at random and gets online price quotes for their policies. She then compares these prices with their local policy rates. She subtracts the online price minus the local price to get the price difference. She finds a mean difference of negative $34.90 with a standard deviation of $95.66. Is this significant evidence that her clients would save money on average by switching to the online company? (Test a hypothesis.)

Fail to reject the null because the evidence is not statistically significant that her clients would save money on average

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypothesis is that car insurance from an online company is not cheaper than from local price.

using a left sided t test- t = (mean difference between online price (sample) and the local price) / (standard deviation/√n-1)

mean difference = -34.90, SD = 95.66, n = 10

t test = -34.90 / (95.66/√(10-1))

      = -34.90 / (95.66/√9)

      = -34.90 / (95.66/3)

     =  -34.90 / 31.88667

    = -1.094.

df = n-1 = 9

Looking up the table for under 9 df you are about 85% at the 0.05 level of significance using the left sided table away (-1.833).

P value (using a t-test calculator) = .151184 which is higher than .05

So, this evidence is not statistically significant that her clients would save money on average .

there are no figures how am i supposed to answer this question
