Chapter 10: Q. 10.101 (page 430)

Refer again to Exercise 10.8 on Page 427, where each pair of graphs shows the distribution of a variable on two populations. Suppose that, in each case you want to perform a small test hypothesis test based on independent simple random samples to compare the means of the two populations. In each case, decide which case, if any, of the following test is preferrable: the pooled t-test, or the Mann Whitney test. Explain your anser.

Short Answer

Expert verified

From figure 10.8 (a), the two standard deviations are similar and the two distribution are normal.

Hence the assumption for pooled t-test is met. Hence the pooled t-test is preferrable.

From figure 10.8 (b), the two standard deviations are not similar and the two distribution are normal.

Hence the assumption for non pooled t-test is met. Hence the non pooled t-test is preferrable.

From figure 10.8 (c), the two standard deviations are not normal with same shape.

Hence the assumption for Mann Whitney test is met. Hence the Mann Whitney test is preferrable.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1. Given Information.

Each pair of graphs shows the distribution of a variable on two populations.

02

Part (b) Step 2. Assumption for pooled t-test.

1. The selected sample should be a simple random sample from two populations.

2. The samples are independent of one another.

3. Population is approximately normal.

4. Equal population standard deviations.

From figure 10.8 (a), the two standard deviations are similar and the two distribution are normal.

Hence the assumption for pooled t-test is met. Hence the pooled t-test is preferrable.

03

Step 3. Assumption for Mann Whitney test.

1. The samples are independent of one another with same shape.

2. Population does not follow normal.

3. Sample size is not large.

From figure 10.8 (c), the two standard deviations are not normal with same shape.

Hence the assumption for Mann Whitney test is met. Hence the Mann Whitney test is preferrable.

04

Step 4. Assumption for non-pooled t-test.

1. The selected sample should be a simple random sample from two populations.

2. The samples are independent of one another.

3. Population is approximately normal.

4. Sample size is not large.

From figure 10.8 (b), the two standard deviations are not similar and the two distribution are normal.

Hence the assumption for non pooled t-test is met. Hence the non pooled t-test is preferrable.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons publishes data in Prison Statistics on the times served by prisoners released from federal institutions for the first time. Independent random samples of released prisoners in the fraud and firearms offense categories yielded the following information on time served, in months.

At the 5% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the meantime served for fraud is less than that for firearms offenses? (Note: x炉1=10.12,s1=4.90,x炉2=18.78, and s2=4.64.)

Consider the quantities渭1,蟽1,x炉1,s1,渭2,蟽2,x^2, and s2.

a. Which quantities represent parameters and which represent statistics?

b. Which quantities are fixed numbers and which are variables?

Suppose that you want to perform a hypothesis test to compare the means of two populations, using a paired sample. For each part, decide whether you would use the pairedt -test, the paired Wilcoxon signed-rank test, or neither of these tests if preliminary data analyses of the sample of paired differences suggest that the distribution of the paired-difference variable is

a. approximately normal.

b. highly skewed; the sample size is 20.

c. symmetric bimodal.

In the article "Sleep Apnea in Adults With Traumatic Brain Injury: A Preliminary Investigation" (Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Vol. 82, Issue 3, pp. 316321), J. Webster et al, investigated sleep-related breathing disorders in adults with traumatic brain injuries (TBI). The respiratory disturbance index (RDI), which is the number of apneic and hypopneic episodes per hour of sleep, was used as a measure of severity of sleep apnea. An RDI of 5 or more indicates sleep-related breathing disturbances. The RDIs for the females and males in the study are as follows.

Use the technology of your choice to answer the following questions. Explain your answers.

a. If you had to choose between the use of pooledt-procedures and nonpooled t-procedures here, which would you choose?

b. Is it reasonable to use the type of procedure that you selected in part (a)?
