Explanation: The Null Hypothesis (Ho) for this bivariate hypothesis testing is: “There is no
statistically significant difference in the average CO2 reduction between the countries of former
members of the Soviet Union and those that were not members of the Soviet Union.”
To be able to test this hypothesis, the t-test is conducted to test whether the observed
difference in sample means is statistically significant. The t-test produces a t-statistic and a p
value. The p-value indicates the probability of obtaining the observed difference (or more
extreme) if the null hypothesis is true.
According to t-test results shown in Table 5, there is …… in the average CO2 reduction
between the countries of former members of the Soviet Union and those that were not
members of the Soviet Union. The p-value obtained from the t-test is ………, indicating
………..
Because the p-value is ….. than the significance level, we ….. the null hypothesis (Ho) and
conclude that there is ……. in the average CO2 reduction between the two groups. This
result suggests that …………
Because the p-value …………
