A paired difference experiment produced the following results:

nd=38,x1=92,x2=95.5,d=-3.5,sd2=21

a. Determine the values zfor which the null hypothesis 12=0would be rejected in favor of the alternative hypothesis 12<0 Use .role="math" localid="1652704322912" 伪=.10

b. Conduct the paired difference test described in part a. Draw the appropriate conclusions.

c. What assumptions are necessary so that the paired difference test will be valid?

d. Find a90% confidence interval for the mean difference d.

e. Which of the two inferential procedures, the confidence interval of part d or the test of the hypothesis of part b, provides more information about the differences between the population means?

Short Answer

Expert verified

A confidence interval is the set of numbers seen in our sample for which we anticipate discovering the number that best represents the populace.

Step by step solution

01

Step-by-Step Solution Step 1: (a) Determine the value of z for which the null hypothesis will be rejected

Null Hypothesis:H0:12=0

Alternate Hypothesis:Ha:12<0

The critical value for a left-tailed test=0.1 is-1.28 .

If zdata<1.28then, reject the null hypothesis.

02

(b) Conduct the test

z=d0sd2nd=3.502138=3.50.7434=4.71

Therefore, the value of paired difference test is -4.71.

The null hypothesis will be rejected, and it can be concluded that Ha:12<0.

03

(c) State the assumptions

  1. By Central Limit Theorem, the sampling distributiond follows a normal distribution.
  2. The sample differences are randomly selected from the population differences.
  3. The sample size of the no. of pairs is large, which is more than 30.
04

(d) Find the confidence interval

Confidence interval =90%

Level of Significance ()=0.10

Confidence Interval =dz/2sd2nd

=3.5z0.052138=3.51.645(0.7434)=3.51.223=(4.723,2.277)

Therefore,90%the confidence interval for the mean difference dis (4.723,2.277).

05

(e) State the conclusion

The confidence intervals tell us about the difference between population means of an interval for all possible values. So, it gives more information than the z-test.

Question: Impact of race on football card values. Refer to the Electronic Journal of Sociology (2007) study of the Impact of race on the value of professional football players鈥 鈥渞ookie鈥 cards, Exercise 12.72 (p. 756). Recall that the sample consisted of 148 rookie cards of NFL players who were inducted into the Football Hall of Fame (HOF). The researchers modelled the natural logarithm of card price (y) as a function of the following independent variables:

Race:x1=1ifblack,0ifwhiteCardavailability:x2=1ifhigh,0iflowCardvintage:x3=yearcardprintedFinalist:x4=naturallogarithmofnumberoftimesplayeronfinalHOFballotPosition-QB::x5=1ifquarterback,0ifnotPosition-RB:x7=1ifrunningback,0ifnotPosition-WR:x8=1ifwidereceiver,0ifnotPosition-TEx9=1iftightend,0ifnotPosition-DL:x10=1ifdefensivelineman,0ifnotPosition-LB:x11=1iflinebacker,0ifnotPosition-DB:x12=1ifdefensiveback,0ifnot

[Note: For position, offensive lineman is the base level.]

  1. The model E(y)=0+1x1+2x2+3x3+4x4+5x5+6x6+7x7+8x8+9x9+10x10+11x11+12x12 was fit to the data with the following results:R2=0.705,Ra2=0.681,F=26.9.Interpret the results, practically. Make an inference about the overall adequacy of the model.
  2. Refer to part a. Statistics for the race variable were reported as follows:^1=-0.147,s^1=-0.145,t=-1.014,p-value=0.312 .Use this information to make an inference about the impact of race on the value of professional football players鈥 rookie cards.
  3. Refer to part a. Statistics for the card vintage variable were reported as follows:^3=-0.074,s^3=0.007,t=-10.92,p-value=.000.Use this information to make an inference about the impact of card vintage on the value of professional football players鈥 rookie cards.
  4. Write a first-order model for E(y) as a function of card vintage x3and position x5-x12that allows for the relationship between price and vintage to vary depending on position.

Corporate sustainability of CPA firms. Refer to the Business and Society (March 2011) study on the sustainability behaviors of CPA corporations, Exercise 2.23 (p. 83). Recall that the level of support for corporate sustainability (measured on a quantitative scale ranging from 0 to 160 points) was obtained for each of 992 senior managers at CPA firms. The accompanying Minitab printout gives the mean and standard deviation for the level of support variable. It can be shown that level of support is approximately normally distributed.

a. Find the probability that the level of support for corporate sustainability of a randomly selected senior manager is less than 40 points.

b. Find the probability that the level of support for corporate sustainability of a randomly selected senior manager is between 40 and 120 points.

c. Find the probability that the level of support for corporate sustainability of a randomly selected senior manager is greater than 120 points.

d. One-fourth of the 992 senior managers indicated a level of support for corporate sustainability below what value?

Question: The purpose of this exercise is to compare the variability of with the variability of .

a. Suppose the first sample is selected from a population with mean and variance . Within what range should the sample mean vary about of the time in repeated samples of measurements from this distribution? That is, construct an interval extending standard deviations of on each side of .

b. Suppose the second sample is selected independently of the first from a second population with mean and variance . Within what range should the sample mean vary about the time in repeated samples of measurements from this distribution? That is, construct an interval extending standard deviations on each side .

c. Now consider the difference between the two sample means . What are the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution ?

d. Within what range should the difference in sample means vary about the time in repeated independent samples of measurements each from the two populations?

e. What, in general, can be said about the variability of the difference between independent sample means relative to the variability of the individual sample means?

Question: Refer to the Bulletin of Marine Science (April 2010) study of lobster trap placement, Exercise 6.29 (p. 348). Recall that the variable of interest was the average distance separating traps鈥攃alled trap-spacing鈥攄eployed by teams of fishermen. The trap-spacing measurements (in meters) for a sample of seven teams from the Bahia Tortugas (BT) fishing cooperative are repeated in the table. In addition, trap-spacing measurements for eight teams from the Punta Abreojos (PA) fishing cooperative are listed. For this problem, we are interested in comparing the mean trap-spacing measurements of the two fishing cooperatives.
