Based on your findings from the previous question, perform an appropriate directional t-test. Is there a significant difference?
Using owned and rent from the Scottish postcode data (depdata.csv), carry out the following dependent
samples tests.
What will be an ideal response?
Since the differences of means value is positive, it implies that the mean of people who own is greater than
the mean of people who rent.
t.test(depdata$owned,depdata$rent, alternative="greater", paired=TRUE)
Paired t-test
data: depdata$owned and depdata$rent
t = 19.56, df = 1011, p-value < 2.2e-16
alternative hypothesis: true difference in means is greater than 0
95 percent confidence interval:
515.1049 Inf
sample estimates:
mean of the differences
562.4457
Since p ? .05, we conclude that the mean of people who own is significantly greater than the mean of people
who rent.
