10.33 Regarding the four conditions required for using the pooled procedures:
a. what are they?
b. how important is each condition?
Recess and Wasted Food. Refer to Exercise 10.50 and find a 98% confidence interval for the difference between the mean amount of food wasted for lunches before recess and that for lunches after recess.
In each of Exercises 10.75-10.80, we have provided summary statistics for independent simple random samples from two populations. In each case, use the non pooled -test and the non pooled t-interval procedure to conduct the required hypothesis test and obtain the specified confidence interval,
.
a. Left-tailed test, .
b. confidence interval.
Driving Distances. Refer to Exercise 10.48 and determine a 95% confidence interval for the difference between last year's mean VMTs by midwestern and southern households.
Stressed-Out Bus Drivers. An intervention program designed by the Stockholm Transit District was implemented to improve the work conditions of the city's bus drivers. Improvements were evaluated by G. Evans et al., who collected physiological and psychological data for bus drivers who drove on the improved routes (intervention) and for drivers who were assigned the normal routes (control). Their findings were published in the article "Hassles on the Job: A Study of a Job Intervention with Urban Bus Drivers" (Journal of Organizational Behavior, Vol. 20, pp. 199-208). Following are data, based on the results of the study, for the heart rates, in beats per minute, of the intervention and control drivers.

a. At the significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the intervention program reduces mean heart rate of urban bus drivers in Stockholm? (Note; , and .
b. Can you provide an explanation for the somewhat surprising results of the study?
c. Is the study a designed experiment or an observational study? plain your answer.
