QUESTION 3
3.Nintendo Sony would like to test the hypothesis that a difference exists in the average age of users of a Wii, a PlayStation, or an Xbox console game. The following data represent the age of a random sample of Wii, PlayStation, and Xbox users.
 
Wii    PlayStation    Xbox
37    26    31
31    21    20
47    24    38
29    24    31
36    25    30

 
Using α = 0.05, the conclusion for this hypothesis test would be that because the test statistic is
 
    more than the critical value, we cannot conclude that there is a difference in the average age of users of a Wii, a PlayStation, or an Xbox console game.
 
    less than the critical value, we cannot conclude that there is a difference in the average age of users of a Wii, a PlayStation, or an Xbox console game.
 
    more than the critical value, we can conclude that there is a difference in the average age of users of a Wii, a PlayStation, or an Xbox console game.
