Chapter 10: Q. 42 (page 653)

42. Long words Mary was interested in comparing the mean word length in articles from a medical journal and an airline鈥檚 in-flight magazine. She counted the number of letters in the first 200 words of an article in
the medical journal and in the first 100 words of an article in the airline magazine. Mary then used Minitab statistical software to produce the histograms shown.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The random requirement was not met.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Mary counted the number of letters in the first 200 words of an article in
the medical journal and in the first 100 words of an article in the airline magazine.

02

Explanation

Determine the Random, Normal, and Independent are the requirements from the given histogram:

Random, Normal, and Independent are the requirements for two-samplet methods.
The samples of words were conveniently chosen as the first 200words, which are not representative of all words, hence the Random requirement was not met.

Coaching and SAT scores (10.2) What we really want to know is whether coached students improve more than uncoached students and whether any advantage is large enough to be worth paying for. Use the information above to answer these questions:

(a) Is there good evidence that coached students gained more on average than uncoached students? Carry out a significance test to answer this question.

(b) How much more do coach students gain on the average? Construct and interpret a 99% confidence interval.

(c) Based on your work, what is your opinion: do you think coaching courses are worth paying for?

A study of road rage asked samples of 596men and 523women about their behaviour while driving. Based on their answers, each person was assigned a road rage score on a scale of 0to20. The participants were chosen by random digit dialling of telephone numbers. We suspect that men are more prone to road rage than women. To see if this is true, test these hypotheses for the mean road rage scores of all male and female drivers

(a) H0:渭M=渭FversusH0:渭M>渭F

(b) H0:渭M=渭FversusH0:渭M鈮�渭F

(c) role="math" localid="1650363760526" H0:渭M=渭FversusH0:渭M<渭F

(d) H0:x炉M=x炉FversusH0:x炉M>x炉F

(e)H0:x炉M=x炉FversusH0:x炉M<xF

A study of road rage asked separate random samples of 596men and 523women about their behavior while driving. Based on their answers, each re-spondent was assigned a road rage score on a scale of 0to 20. Are the conditions for performing a two-sample t test satisfied?

a) Maybe; we have independent random samples, but we need to look at the data to check Normality.

(b) No; road rage scores in a range between 0 and 20 can鈥檛 be Normal.

(c) No; we don鈥檛 know the population standard deviations.

(d) Yes; the large sample sizes guarantee that the corresponding population distributions will be Normal.

(e) Yes; we have two independent random samples and large sample sizes.

The following dot plots show the average high temperatures (in degrees Fahrenheit) for a sample of tourist cities from around the world. Both the January and July average high temperatures are shown. What is one statement that can be made with certainty from an analysis of the graphical display?

(a) Every city has a larger average high temperature in July than in January.

(b) The distribution of temperatures in July is skewed right, while the distribution of temperatures in January is skewed left.

(c) The median average high temperature for January is higher than the median average high temperature for July.

(d) There appear to be outliers in the average high temperatures for January and July.

(e) There is more variability in average high temperatures in January than in July.

Dropping out You have data from interviews with a random sample of students who failed to graduate from a particular college in 7years and also from a random sample of students who entered at the same time and did graduate. You will use these data to compare the percentages of students from rural backgrounds among dropouts and graduates.
