Chapter 10: Q. 83 (page 687)

Explain why it is not appropriate to perform a paired t test about the true mean difference (Outbound 鈭� Return) in flight times between Dubai and Doha. Note: See Exercise 94for an alternative approach to perform a significance test in this setting.

Short Answer

Expert verified

All the conditions are not satisfied since the large sample is not satisfied and it is therefore not appropriate to determine the confidence interval for the population mean difference.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information

The dots in the dot plot represents the difference between outbound and return in flight time.

02

Step 2. Explanation

To answer the question we must find out if the three conditions are satisfied or not, which is as:

Random: It is satisfied because the samples are independent random samples.

Independent: It is satisfied because the sample of days is less than of all population of all days.

Normal: It is not satisfied because the sample is not large and the distribution is not approximately Normal.

Thus, all the conditions are not satisfied since the large sample is not satisfied and it is therefore not appropriate to determine the confidence interval for the population mean difference.

According to sleep researchers, if you are between the ages of 12and 18years old, you need 9hours of sleep to function well. A simple random sample of 28students was chosen from a large high school, and these students were asked how much sleep they got the previous night. The mean of the responses was 7.9hours with a standard deviation of 2.1hours. If we are interested in whether students at this high school are getting too little sleep, which of the following represents the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses ?

  1. H0:渭=7.9and Ha:渭<7.9
  2. H0:渭=7.9and Ha:渭鈮�7.9
  3. H0:渭=9and Ha:渭鈮�9
  4. H0:渭=9and width="69" height="24" role="math">Ha:渭<9
  5. H0:渭鈮�9andHa:渭鈮�9

National Park rangers keep data on the bears that inhabit their park. Here is a histogram of the weights of bears measured in a recent year:

Which of the following statements is correct?

a. The median will lie in the interval (140,180), and the mean will lie in the interval(180,220).

b. The median will lie in the interval(140,180), and the mean will lie in the interval (260,300).

c. The median will lie in the interval(100,140), and the mean will lie in the interval (180,220).

d. The mean will lie in the interval (140,180),and the median will lie in the interval (260,300).

e. The mean will lie in the interval (100,140), and the median will lie in the interval (180,220).

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

a. How much more do coached students gain, on average, compared to uncoached students? Construct and interpret a 99%confidence interval.

b. Does the interval in part (a) give convincing evidence that coached students gain more, on average, than uncoached students? Explain your answer.

c. Based on your work, what is your opinion: Do you think coaching courses are worth paying for?

Which of the following describes a Type II error in the context of this study?

a. Finding convincing evidence that the true means are different for males and females when in reality the true means are the same

b. Finding convincing evidence that the true means are different for males and females when in reality the true means are different

c. Not finding convincing evidence that the true means are different for males and females when in reality the true means are the same

d. Not finding convincing evidence that the true means are different for males and females when in reality the true means are different

e. Not finding convincing evidence that the true means are different for males and females when in reality there is convincing evidence that the true means are different.

Each day I am getting better in math A "subliminal" message is below our threshold of awareness but may nonetheless influence us. Can subliminal messages help students learn math? A group of 18students who had failed the mathematics part of the City University of New York Skills Assessment Test agreed to participate in a study to find out. All received a daily subliminal message, flashed on a screen too rapidly to be consciously read. The treatment group of 10students (assigned at random) was exposed to "Each day I am getting better in math." The control group of 8students was exposed to a neutral message, "People are walking on the street." All 18students participated in a summer program designed to improve their math skills, and all took the assessment test again at the end of the program. The following table gives data on the subjects' scores before and after the program.

a. Explain why a two-sample t-test and not a paired t-test is the appropriate inference procedure in this setting.

b. The following boxplots display the differences in pretest and post-test scores for the students in the control (C) and treatment (T) groups. Write a few sentences comparing the performance of these two groups.

c. Do the data provide convincing evidence at the 伪=0.01,3051526=0.200=20%significance level that subliminal messages help students like the ones in this study learn math, on average?

d. Can we generalize these results to the population of all students who failed the mathematics part of the City University of New York Skills Assessment Test? Why or why not?
