Chapter 10: Q. 71. (page 672)

The P-value for the stated hypotheses is 0.002Interpret this value in the context of this study.

a. Assuming that the true mean road rage score is the same for males and females, there is a 0.002probability of getting a difference in sample means equal to the one observed in this study.

b. Assuming that the true mean road rage score is the same for males and females, there is a 0.002 probability of getting a difference in sample means at least as large in either direction as the one observed in this study.

c. Assuming that the true mean road rage score is different for males and females, there is a 0.002 probability of getting a difference in sample means at least as large in either direction as the one observed in this study.

d. Assuming that the true mean road rage score is the same for males and females, there is a 0.002 probability that the null hypothesis is true.

e. Assuming that the true mean road rage score is the same for males and females, there is a 0.002 probability that the alternative hypothesis is true.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The required correct option is(b)

Step by step solution

01

Given information

It is given,

P=0.002

02

Explanation

When the null hypothesis is true, the P-value represents the probability of obtaining the observed value or a more extreme value.

The null hypothesis asserts that the true mean road rage score is the same for men and women.

The correct interpretation of the P-value is that assuming that the true mean road rage score for males and females differs, there is a 0.002chance of getting an observed difference at least as extreme as the observed difference.

Therefore, the option (b)is the correct option.

Music and memory Does listening to music while studying help or hinder students鈥� learning? Two statistics students designed an experiment to find out. They selected a random sample of 30students from their medium-sized high school to participate. Each subject was given 10minutes to memorize two different lists of 20words, once while listening to music and once in silence. The order of the two word lists was determined at random; so was the order of the treatments. The difference (Silence 鈭� Music) in the number of words recalled was recorded for each subject. The mean difference was 1.57and the standard deviation of the differences was 2.70.

a. If the result of this study is statistically significant, can you conclude that the difference in the ability to memorize words was caused by whether students were performing the task in silence or with music playing? Why or why not?

b. Do the data provide convincing evidence at the伪=0.01 significance level that the number of words recalled in silence or when listening to music differs, on average, for students at this school?

c. Based on your conclusion in part (a), which type of error鈥攁 Type I error or a Type II error鈥攃ould you have made? Explain your answer.

Don鈥檛 drink the water!The movie A Civil Action (1998) tells the story of a

major legal battle that took place in the small town of Woburn, Massachusetts. A town well that supplied water to east Woburn residents was contaminated by industrial chemicals. During the period that residents drank water from this well, 16of 414babies born had birth defects. On the west side of Woburn, 3of 228babies born during the same time period had birth defects. Let p1be

the true proportion of all babies born with birth defects in west Woburn and p2be the true proportion of all babies born with birth defects in east Woburn. Check if the conditions for calculating a confidence interval forp1-p2are met.

A study of road rage asked separate random samples of 596men and 523 women

about their behavior while driving. Based on their answers, each respondent was

assigned a road rage score on a scale of 0 to 20. Are the conditions for performing a

two-sample t test satisfied?

a. Maybe; we have independent random samples, but we should look at the data to

check Normality.

b. No; road rage scores on a scale from 0 to 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.

Who talks more鈥攎en or women? Researchers equipped random samples of 56 male and 56 female students from a large university with a small device that secretly records sound for a random 30 seconds during each 12.5-minute period over 2 days. Then they counted the number of words spoken by each subject during each recording period and, from this, estimated how many words per day each subject speaks. The female estimates had a mean of 16,177 words per day with a standard deviation of 7520 words per day. For

the male estimates, the mean was 16,569 and the standard deviation was 9108. Do these data provide convincing evidence at the 伪=0.053051526=0.200=20.0%伪=0.05significance level of a difference in the average number of words spoken in a day by all male and all female students at this university?

I want red!A candy maker offers Child and Adult bags of jelly beans with

different color mixes. The company claims that the Child mix has 30%red jelly beans, while the Adult mix contains 15%red jelly beans. Assume that the candy maker鈥檚 claim is true. Suppose we take a random sample of 50jelly beans from the Child mix and a separate random sample of 100jelly beans from the Adult mix. Let p^Cand p^Abe the sample proportions of red jelly beans from the Child and

Adult mixes, respectively.

a. What is the shape of the sampling distribution of p^C-p^A? Why?

b. Find the mean of the sampling distribution.

c. Calculate and interpret the standard deviation of the sampling distribution.
