Suppose \({\mu _1}\) and \({\mu _2}\) are true mean stopping distances at \(50mph\) for cars of a certain type equipped with two different types of braking systems. Use the two-sample t test at significance level

t test at significance level \(.01\) to test \({H_0}:{\mu _1} - {\mu _2} = - 10\) versus \({H_a}:{\mu _1} - {\mu _2} < - 10\) for the following data: \(m = 6,\;\;\;\bar x = 115.7,{s_1} = 5.03,n = 6,\bar y = 129.3,\;\)and \({s_2} = 5.38.\)

Short Answer

Expert verified

the solution is

do not reject null hypothesis

Step by step solution

01

calculate degree of freedom

for the given hypothesis

\({H_0}:{\mu _1} - {\mu _2} = - 10 vs {H_a}:{\mu _1} - {\mu _2} < - 10\)

The random variable (standardized) is given two normal distributions.

\(T = \frac{{\bar X - \bar Y - \left( {{\mu _1} - {\mu _2}} \right)}}{{\sqrt {\frac{{S_1^2}}{m} + \frac{{S_2^2}}{n}} }}\nu \)

has a \(t\) distribution with degrees of freedom \(\nu \), where \(\nu \) is the number of students.

\(\nu = \frac{{{{\left( {\frac{{s_1^2}}{m} + \frac{{s_2^2}}{n}} \right)}^2}}}{{\frac{{{{\left( {s_1^2/m} \right)}^2}}}{{m - 1}} + \frac{{{{\left( {s_2^2/n} \right)}^2}}}{{n - 1}}}}\)

The number must be rounded to the nearest integer.

To compute the test statistic, all values are provided.

\(\begin{array}{l}t = \frac{{\bar x - \bar y - \left( {{\mu _1} - {\mu _2}} \right)}}{{\sqrt {\frac{{s_1^2}}{m} + \frac{{s_2^2}}{n}} }} = \frac{{115.7 - 129.3 - ( - 10)}}{{\sqrt {\frac{{5.0{3^2}}}{6} + \frac{{5.3{8^2}}}{6}} }}\\ = \frac{{ - 3.6}}{{3.007}} = - 1.2\end{array}\)

The equivalent degrees of freedom can be calculated using the following formula.

\(\begin{array}{l}\nu = \frac{{{{\left( {\frac{{s_1^2}}{m} + \frac{{s_2^2}}{n}} \right)}^2}}}{{\frac{{{{\left( {s_1^2/m} \right)}^2}}}{{m - 1}} + \frac{{{{\left( {s_2^2/n} \right)}^2}}}{{n - 1}}}} = \frac{{{{\left( {\frac{{5.0{3^2}}}{6} + \frac{{5.3{8^2}}}{6}} \right)}^2}}}{{\frac{{{{\left( {5.0{3^2}/6} \right)}^2}}}{{6 - 1}} + \frac{{{{\left( {5.3{8^2}/6} \right)}^2}}}{{6 - 1}}}}\\ = \frac{{{{(4.2168 + 4.8241)}^2}}}{{\frac{{{{(4.2168)}^2}}}{5} + \frac{{4.824{1^2}}}{5}}} = 9.96\end{array}\)

02

probability

The number must be rounded down to \(9\) in order to acquire the matching degrees of freedom, implying that.

\(\nu = 9\)

\({\rm{d f}}\). The \(P\) value for such test hypotheses is the area to the left of the \(t\) value under the students \(t\)distribution with degrees of freedom \(9\), and the \(P\) value is.

\(P(T \le - 1.2) = 0.13\)

If \(T\) is a random variable with the student distribution given, and the probability was calculated using the appendix table.

With significance level \(0.01\).

Because \(0.01 < 0.13\)

03

conclusion

do not reject null hypothesis

The paper "'Quantitative Assessment of Glenohumeral Translation in Baseball Players" (The Amer.J. of Sports Med., 2004: 1711-1715) considered various aspects of shoulder motion for a sample of pitchers and another sample of position players [glenohumeral refers to the articulation between the humerus (ball) and the glenoid (socket)]. The authors kindly supplied the following data on anteroposterior translation (mm), a measure of the extent of anterior and posterior motion, both for the dominant arm and the nondominant arm.

a. Estimate the true average difference in translation between dominant and nondominant arms for pitchers in a way that conveys information about reliability and precision, and interpret the resulting estimate.

b. Repeat (a) for position players.

c. The authors asserted that "pitchers have greater difference in side-to-side anteroposterior translation of their shoulders compared with position players." Do you agree? Explain.

Do teachers find their work rewarding and satisfying? The article "Work-Related Attitudes" (Psychological Reports, 1991: \(443 - 450)\)reports the results of a survey of 395 elementary school teachers and 266 high school teachers. Of the elementary school teachers, 224 said they were very satisfied with their jobs, whereas 126 of the high school teachers were very satisfied with their work. Estimate the difference between the proportion of all elementary school teachers who are very satisfied and all high school teachers who are very satisfied by calculating and interpreting a\(CI\).

The degenerative disease osteoarthritis most frequently affects weight-bearing joints such as the knee. The article "Evidence of Mechanical Load Redistribution at the Knee Joint in the Elderly When Ascending Stairs and Ramps" (Annals of Biomed. Engr., \(2008: 467 - 476\)) presented the following summary data on stance duration (ms) for samples of both older and younger adults.

\(\begin{array}{*{20}{l}}{Age\;\;\;\;\;\;\;Sample Size\;\;Sample Mean\;\;Sample SD}\\{\;Older\;\;\;\;\;28\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;801\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;117}\\{Younger\;16\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;780\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;72}\end{array}\)

Assume that both stance duration distributions are normal.

a. Calculate and interpret a\(99\% \)CI for true average stance duration among elderly individuals.

b. Carry out a test of hypotheses at significance level\(.05\)to decide whether true average stance duration is larger among elderly individuals than among younger individuals.

The article "Effect of Internal Gas Pressure on the Compression Strength of Beverage Cans and Plastic Bottles" (J. of Testing and Evaluation, \(1993: 129 - 131\)) includes the accompanying data on compression strength (lb) for a sample of\(12 - oz\)aluminum cans filled with strawberry drink and another sample filled with cola. Does the data suggest that the extra carbonation of cola results in a higher average compression strength? Base your answer on a\(P\)-value. What assumptions are necessary for your analysis?

The level of monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity in blood platelets (nm/mg protein/h) was determined for each individual in a sample of \(43\) chronic schizophrenics, resulting in \(\bar x = 2.69\) and \({s_1} = 2.30,\), as well as for \(45\) normal subjects, resulting in \(\bar y = 6.35\) and \({s_2} = 4.03.\). Does this data strongly suggest that true average MAO activity for normal subjects is more than twice the activity level for schizophrenics? Derive a test procedure and carry out the test using \(\alpha = .01\)

. (Hint: \({H_0}\) and \({H_a}\) here have a different form from the three standard cases. Let \({\mu _1}\) and \({\mu _2}\) refer to true average MAO activity for schizophrenics and normal subjects, respectively, and consider the parameter \(\theta = 2{\mu _1} - {\mu _2}\). Write \({H_0}\) and \({H_a}\) in terms of \(\theta \), estimate \(\theta \), and derive \({\hat \sigma _{\tilde \theta }}\) (鈥淩educed Monoamine Oxidase Activity in Blood Platelets from Schizophrenic Patients,鈥 Nature, July 28, 1972: 225鈥226).) \(\alpha = .01\)
