Friday the 13thRefer to Exercise 88.

a. Construct and interpret a 90%confidence interval for the true mean difference. If you already defined parameters and checked conditions in Exercise 88, you don鈥檛 need to do them again here.

b. Explain how the confidence interval provides more information than the test in Exercise 88.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The genuine difference in the number of shoppers at each retailer on these two days is between 1.8156and91.1844 shoppers lower on Friday the 6th than on Friday the 13th, according to our 90 percent confidence level.

Step by step solution

01

Part a: Step 1: Given Information

We have been given that

n=Samplesize=45,xd=Meandifferences=-46.5,sd=Standarddeviationofdifferences=178.0,c=Confidencelevel=90%=0.90

02

Part a: Step 2: Simplification

Random, Independent (ten percent condition), and Normal/Large sample are the three criteria for determining a confidence interval for the population mean difference.

Because the sample is a random sample, I'm satisfied.

Independent: Satisfied, because the sample of 45grocery stores represents less than ten percent of the total number of grocery stores (assuming that there are more than 450grocery stores).

Satisfied with the sample size of 45because it is at least 30and hence the sample is substantial.

Because all of the prerequisites have been met, it is time to calculate the confidence interval for the population mean difference.

We now determine the t-value by looking in the row starting with degrees of freedom df=n-1=451=44(the table does not contain df=44, so we will use the nearest smaller degrees of freedom df=40instead) and in the column with c=90%in the table of the Student's T distribution:

t/2=1.684

The margin of error is then:

E=44.6844

The confidence interval's boundaries then become:

xE=-46.544.6844=-91.1844

x+E=-46.5+44.6844=-1.8156

We are 90%confident that the true difference in the number of shoppers at each store on these two days is between 1.8156and 91.1844, lower on Friday the6ththan on Friday the 13th.


03

Part b: Step 1: Given Information

We have to find how the confidence interval provides more information than the test .

04

Part b: Step 2: Explanation

Because the confidence interval provides a range of possible values for the true mean difference, whereas the significance test only tests one, the confidence interval provides more information than the significance test.

The confidence interval for the true mean difference offers us a range of possible values, but the significance test simply tests one possible value for the true mean difference.

Suppose the probability that a softball player gets a hit in any single at-bat is 0.300. Assuming that her chance of getting a hit on a particular time at bat is independent of her other times at bat, what is the probability that she will not get a hit until her fourth time at bat in a game?

Drive-thru or go inside? Many people think it鈥檚 faster to order at the drive-thru than to order inside at fast-food restaurants. To find out, Patrick and William used a random number generator to select10times over a 2week period to visit a local Dunkin鈥 Donuts restaurant. At each of these times, one boy ordered an iced coffee at the drive-thru and the other ordered an iced coffee at the counter inside. A coin flip determined who went inside and who went to the drive-thru. The table shows the times, in seconds, that it took for each boy to receive his iced coffee after he placed the order.

Do these data provide convincing evidence at the =0.05level of a difference in the true mean service time inside and at the drive-thru for this Dunkin鈥 Donuts restaurant?

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.

Let pM,pFbe the proportions of all college males and

Gray squirrel In many parts of the northern United States, two color variants of the Eastern Gray Squirrel鈥 gray and black鈥攁re found in the same habitats. A scientist studying squirrels in a large forest wonders if there is a difference in the sizes of the two color variants. He collects random samples of 40squirrels of each color from a large forest and weighs them. The 40black squirrels have a mean weight of 20.3ounces and a standard deviation of 2.1ounces. The 40 gray squirrels have a mean weight of 19.2ounces and a standard deviation of 1.9 ounces. Do these data provide convincing evidence at the 伪=0.013051526=0.200=20.0%=0.01significance level of a difference in the mean weights of all gray and black Eastern Gray Squirrels in this forest?
