Chapter 10: Q. 8 (page 596)

The league mean batting average is 0.280 with a known standard deviation of 0.06. The Rattlers and the Vikings belong

to the league. The mean batting average for a sample of eight Rattlers is 0.210, and the mean batting average for a sample

of eight Vikings is 0.260. There are 24 players on the Rattlers and 19 players on the Vikings. Are the batting averages of the

Rattlers and Vikings statistically different?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The test is for known variances, population standard deviations, and/or independent group means.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The League mean batting average is 0.28, while the standard deviation is 0.06.

The league's sample 8 Rattlers' men's batting average is 0.210.

The men's batting average in sample 8 of the league is 0.260.

Rattlers have a total of 24 players.

Vikings=19 number of players

02

To identify the most appropriate hypothesis test for the supplied data.

Let us assume the mean batting average of Rattlers as 渭鈩�

considering mean batting average of Vikings as 渭V

The null and alternative hypothesis is given as

H0:渭R=渭V

Ha:渭R鈮�渭V

This demonstrates that this hypothesis test can be used with known independent group means, population standard deviations, and/or variances.

Use the following informotion to answer the next five exercises. Two metal alloys are being considered as material for ball bearings. The mean melting point of the two alloys is to be compared. 15 pieces of each metal are being tested. Both populations have normal distributions. The following table is the result. It is believed that Alloy Zeta has a different melting point.

Draw the graph of the p-value.

88. If the level of significance is 0.05, the conclusion is:
a. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the WDivision teams score fewer goals, on average, than the E teams
b. There is insufficient evidence to conclude that the W Division teams score more goals, on average, than the E teams.
c. There is insufficient evidence to conclude that the W teams score fewer goals, on average, than the E teams score.
d. Unable to determine

It is believed that 70%of males pass their drivers test in the first attempt, while 65%of females pass the test in the first attempt. Of interest is whether the proportions are in fact equal.

Indicate if the hypothesis test is for :

a. independent group means, population standard deviations, and/or variances known

b. independent group means, population standard deviations, and/or variances unknown

c. matched or paired samples

d. single mean

e. two proportions

f. single proportion

Use the following information to answer the next 12 exercises: The U.S. Center for Disease Control reports that the mean life expectancy was 47.6 years for whites born in 1900 and 33.0 years for nonwhites. Suppose that you randomly survey death records for people born in 1900 in a certain county. Of the 124 whites, the mean life span was 45.3 years with a standard deviation of 12.7 years. Of the 82 nonwhites, the mean life span was 34.1 years with a standard deviation of 15.6 years. Conduct a hypothesis test to see if the mean life spans in the county were the same for whites and nonwhites.

Calculate the test statistic and p-value.
