A company that sells canned vegetables buys 50-lb pallets of tomatoes from two area farmers. For Farmer 1, the standard deviation is 2.1 pounds. For Farmer 2, the standard deviation is 1.5 pounds. A sample of 30 pallets from Farmer 1 had a mean of 48.3. A sample of 40 pallets from Farmer 2 had a mean of 47.9. Find the probability of observing these sample means if the two population means are equal using a z-test. If your alpha is 0.1, what will you conclude? A. Fail to reject the null hypothesis, which states that the population means are equal. B. Reject the null hypothesis, which states that the population means are equal. C. You do not know enough to accept or reject the null hypothesis. D. In this situation, an ethical researcher will change the alpha so that the null hypothesis can be rejected.
