2. The table below provides data on the theoretical calculated and experimental test values of the vapor pressures for dibenzothiophene, a heterocyclloaromatic compound similar to those found in coal tar. If the theoretical model for vapor pressure is a good model of reality, the true mean difference between the experimental and calculated values of vapor pressure for a given temperature will be 0. (a) State the correct hypothesis that the mean difference equals zero (0) and conduct the hypothesis test at α = 0.05. (b) Interpret the pvalue for the test.
