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 t-fest and the non pooled t-interval procedure to conduct the required hypothesis test and obtain the specified confidence interval.

x~1=20,s1=2,n1=30,x2=18,s2=5,n2=40.

a. Right-tailed test, α=0.05

b. 90%confidence interval.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. As a result, at a 5%level of significance, the data give enough evidence to conclude that the two population means are not identical.

b. The, end points of the specified interval is (0.543,3.458).

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given Information 

Using the non-pooled test and the non-pooled interval technique, find the specified confidence interval.

02

Part (a) Step 2: Explanation 

The hypothesis test to be carried out is as follows:

Ha:μ1>μ2

The test is run using a significance level of localid="1651414790125" a=0.05, which is alocalid="1651414793966" 5%significance level. The test statistic's value is calculated as follows:

t=x¯1-x¯2s12n1+s22n1

=20-182230+5240

=2.297T

The right-tailed test's critical value is tαwithdf=Δ.

03

Part (a) Step 3: Explanation 

The value of dfis determined as follows:

df=s12n1+s22n22s12n12s22n22+n2-1n1-1

=2230+524022230230-1+5240240-1

=54

For localid="1651414806427" df=54see the distribution table.

,t0.05=1.674is the critical value obtained.

04

Part (a) Step 4: Explanation 

The graph is depicted in the diagram below.

The value of the test statistic t=2.297appears to be in the rejection region in figure 1.

At the 5%level, the results are significant.

The tstatistic hasdf=Δ.

The probability of seeing a value localid="1651414828078" t=2.297is represented by the localid="1651414836717" Pvalue.

The value of localid="1651414845409" Pobtained using technological means is localid="1651414851473" 0.0128.

Use the localid="1651414857870" ttable with localid="1651414865291" df=54to refer to the figure.

05

Part (a) Step 5: Explanation 

Below is a graph of the data.

Figure 2 shows that the p value does not exceed the 0.05significance level.

06

Part (b) Step 1: Given Information 

Using the non-pooled test and the non-pooled interval technique, find the specified confidence interval.

07

Part (b) Step 2: Explanation 

For df=54see the distribution table.

t0.05=1.674is the crucial value obtained.

The confidence interval's end point for μ1-μ2is calculated as,

Simplify,

x¯1-x¯2±tα/2×s12/n1+s22/n2=(20-18)±1.674×2230+5240

=(0.543,3.458)

Cooling Down. Cooling down with a cold drink before exercise in the heat is believed to help an athlete perform. Researcher 1. Dugas explored the difference between cooling down with an ice slurry (slushy) and with cold water in the article "lce Slurry Ingestion Increases Running Time in the Heat" (Clinical Journal of Sports Medicine, Vol. 21, No, 6, pp. 541-542). Ten male participants drank a flavored ice slurry and ran on a treadmill in a controlled hot and humid environment. Days later, the same participants drank cold water and ran on a treadmill in the same bot and humid environment. The following table shows the times, in minutes, it took to fatigue on the treadmill for both the ice slurry and the cold water.

At the 1%significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that, on average, cold water is less effective than ice slurry For optimizing athletic performance in the heat? (Note; The mean and standard deviation of the paired differences are -5.9minutes and 1.60minutes, respectively.)

Zea Mays. Refer to Exercise 10.123.

a. Determine a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the mean heights of cross-fertilized and self-fertilized Zea mays.

b. Repeat part (a) for a 99% confidence level.

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¯1=10.12,s1=4.90,x¯2=18.78, and s2=4.64.)

A variable of two population has a mean of 40and standard deviation of 12for one of the population and a mean of 40and a standard deviation of 6 for the other population.

a. For independent samples of sizes 9and4respectively find the mean and standard deviation of x1-x2

b. Must the variable under consideration be normally distributed on each of the two population for you to answer part (a) ? Explain your answer.

b. Can you conclude that the variable x1-x2is normally distributed? Explain your answer.

The intent is to employ the sample data to perform a hypothesis test to compare the means of the two populations from which the data were obtained. In each case, decide which of the procedures should be applied.

Independent: n1=40

n2=45
